About this tag
Parity space is a storage layout in Windows Server that provides fault tolerance by distributing parity information across multiple drives, similar to RAID-5. In Windows Server 2012 R2, users may find that parity space options are not available in Disk Management, which only offers simple, spanned, striped, mirrored, and RAID-5 volumes. To create a parity space, you must use Storage Spaces, a feature accessed via Server Manager or PowerShell. This allows combining physical disks into a storage pool and then creating a virtual disk with parity resilience. The tag covers discussions about setting up parity spaces on Windows Server, including troubleshooting when the option is missing from standard disk management tools.
