storage pool

About this tag
A storage pool in Windows is a logical grouping of physical disks created through the Storage Spaces feature, allowing you to pool drives together and create virtual disks with resilience options like two-way mirroring or parity. Common tasks include setting up a storage pool for local redundancy, troubleshooting issues when moving pools to a new PC, and recovering disks in a 'retired' or 'lost communication' state, particularly in Hyper-V or clustered environments like Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). Users also explore advanced scenarios such as booting from a Storage Spaces virtual disk or including the system drive in a pool, though these have specific limitations. The tag covers setup, migration, and recovery of storage pools on Windows 10, 11, and Windows Server.
