About this tag
The two-way mirror tag on WindowsForum.com covers the use of Windows Storage Spaces to create a mirrored volume that writes data to two drives simultaneously, providing local redundancy against a single drive failure. Content includes step-by-step tutorials for setting up a two-way mirror in Windows 10 and Windows 11, explaining prerequisites, the storage pool creation process, and how the mirror protects data. Discussions focus on using this built-in Windows feature as a software-based alternative to hardware RAID 1 for personal data protection on a single PC.
