Join James Gonzalez for an in-depth discussion in this video About Storage Spaces, part of Windows 10: Configure, Secure, and Manage Data.
- In this lesson I review Storage Spaces.…Storage Spaces is a relatively new utility that was…introduced in Windows 8, but it's included in Windows 10…that let's you multiple disks of different sizes and…interfaces, such as USB, SCSI or iSCSI…and combine them as a single, giant disk dubbed…"Your Storage Pool" which is similar to a RAID array…or an LVM on the Linux operating system.…You can divide that pool into spaces with names such as…Video Tutorials or James Spreadsheets…and these function exactly like traditional, formatted…Windows directories but that can mirror data…across multiple drives for redundancy.…
Or you can combine multiple physical drives…into a single pool of storage.…Using Storage Spaces you can even create pools of storage…larger than the amount of physical storage space…you have available.…For example, here I've combined two 2TB physical drives…to create a 10TB virtual storage space.…When the physical storage fills up you can plug in…another drive and take advantage of it's storage space…
