    Hi Shawn, an interesting question has been raised here:
    Formatted Disk getting UN-formatted by Storage Spaces

    which seems to suggest there's a restriction relating to the cluster size on an added disk.

    In the above tutorial you mention the risk of losing data etc on an added disk.. is cluster size another constraint?

    Thanks!
    It appears to be a file system limitation instead.

    To me, Storage Pools seems like an updated version of the old Dynamic Disk feature.

    In case it would help people, my issue that dalchina refers to (separate thread) relates to a limitation of NTFS and Microsoft has laid out a table of needed Cluster Sizes for Storage Space arrays here:
