Windows 10: Create storage pool and storage space in storage areas
In Windows 11, Storage Spaces is a feature that lets you group physical drives into a logical storage that you can expand by adding more drives and protecting the data with different levels of protection.
Storage Spaces supports several RAID-like features, including "simple" to increase storage performance, but does not protect files from hardware failure (requires at least two drives). "Two-way mirror," on the other hand, requires two drives and provides protection from failures because the data is copied across multiple drives. There is also a "three-way mirror," but this requires five drives.
The storage feature also offers the Parity resiliency option, which requires a minimum of three drives. It provides storage efficiency and protection against failures by copying data to multiple locations. If you want to protect data against two drive failures, the Dual Parity option requires a minimum of seven drives.
