Create a Raid Setup in Windows 10
Ever wanted to create a redundant system from 2 hard drives the exact way a Raid controller does? You can do it in Windows 10.
You can create a virtual disk using as many physical drives as you want.
Here is how.
-
Add or connect the drives that you want to group together with Storage Spaces.
-
Go to the taskbar, type Storage Spaces in the search box, and select Storage Spaces from the list of search results.
-
Select Create a new pool and storage space.
-
Select the drives you want to add to the new storage space, and then select Create pool.
-
Give the drive a name and letter, and then choose a layout. Two-way mirror, Three-way mirror, and Parity can help protect the files in the storage space from drive failure.
-
Enter the maximum size the storage space can reach, and then select Create storage space.
Congratulations! You have just created a Raid controller alternative. Notice your physical drives do not appear in the directory tree anymore. Only the new virtual drive appears along with the system drive etc.
Good luck.
