parity setup

About this tag
The parity setup tag covers discussions about configuring storage spaces with parity, similar to RAID 5, in Windows. Users ask whether the boot drive (C:) can be included in a storage pool to create a single drive letter with all drives participating. The content shows confusion about combining the system drive with other drives in a parity-based storage space, as Windows typically creates a separate pool drive (e.g., D:) excluding the boot drive. Topics include storage space creation, pool configuration, and the limitations of including the OS drive in a parity setup.
