How To NEVER LOSE DATA Again, Use Windows Storage Space to group multiple disks together and present them to Windows as one highly available disk

Managing multiple physical disks attached directly to a computer can often be a tedious task for administrators.
To overcome this problem, many organizations use SANs that group physical disks together.
SANs require specialized configuration and sometimes specialized hardware, which makes them expensive.
To overcome these issues, you can use the Storage Spaces feature.
Storage Spaces is a technology in Windows that can help protect your data from drive failures.
It pools disks together, and presents them to the operating system as a single disk.
Storage Spaces is a storage virtualization technology.
It is available in both windows Client and Windows Server.
Storage Space in Windows Server Datacenter edition is called Storage Space Direct.
Storage Space is conceptually similar to RAID, but it is implemented in software.
You can use Storage Spaces to group three or more drives together into a storage pool and then use capacity from that pool to create Storage Spaces.
You will then present those storage spaces to Operating System as individual highly available independent disks.
The primary advantage of Storage Spaces is that you do not have to manage single disks, and you can manage multiple disks as one unit.

Storage Layout:

Simple:
A simple space has data striping but it does not offer any redundancy.
Sequential data is segmented across all disks.
Striping makes it possible to access multiple segments of data concurrently.
Do not host important data on a simple volume

Two and Three-Way mirrors:
Mirror spaces maintain two or three copies of the data that they host.
Data duplication happens with every write to ensure that all data copies are always current.
Mirror spaces also stripe the data across multiple physical drives.
Mirror spaces provide the benefit of greater data throughput and lower access latency.

Parity:
A parity space is similar to RAID 5.
Storage Spaces stores data, along with parity information, striped across multiple physical drives.
Parity enables Storage Spaces to continue servicing read and write requests even when a drive has failed.
Parity always rotates across available disks to enable I/O optimization.
You will need a minimum of three physical drives for parity spaces.
