Expanding Windows Storage Spaces
Hello...
I've recently added a couple of drives to my existing Storage Pool which is made up of the following drive sizes:
2x4TB
4x3TB
The pool is set for parity.
The total pool capacity showing is 18.1TB and currently using 8.27TB however when I check the drive within Windows Explorer it reads:
Storage space (drive V) 2.76TB free of 8.26TB
Please note that I have optimized the pool.
Am I missing something here as I would assume that the 8.26TB would increase to what the total pool capacity is (18.1TB)?
Please note I can increase the "Available pool capacity" from 9.91TB to 18.1TB but I'm concerned that I'll lose all my data.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
