Under the Storage Pool header, click on the linkOptimize drive usage. In the next dialog, click on the buttonOptimize drive usage. Storage Spaces will start optimizing drive usage. Note: Optimization
Storage Spaces helps protect your data from drive failures and extend storage over time as you add drives to your PC. You can use Storage Spaces to group two or more drives together in a storage pool and then use capacity from that pool to create virtual drives called storage spaces. These...
Learn how to create new storage spaces, choose between mirror, two-way, and parity spaces, optimize drive usage, and remove a drive from a pool.
Action: Optimize drive usage in the storage pool by running the Optimize-StoragePool cmdlet.Virtual disk health state: WarningWhen the virtual disk is in a Warning health state, it means that one or more copies of your data are unavailable, but Storage Spaces can still read at least one ...
On the Storage Spaces main page, you can also click on the storage pool to access its options, Optimize and Properties. Select theOptimizeoption to optimize the storage pool to spread existing data across disks. This can improve the performance and efficiency of disk usage. Optimizing can take...
Storage tiers allow you to optimize the use of different disk types in a storage space. For example, you could use very fast but small-capacity solid-state drives (SSDs) with slower, but large-capacity hard disks. When you use this combination of disks, Storage ...

Enables you to create parity spaces on failover clusters. Dual parity New Stores two copies of the parity information on a parity space, which helps protect you from two simultaneous physical disk failures and optimizes storage efficiency. Automatically rebuild storage spaces from storage pool free ...
their Mac pretty quickly. That’s why we’ve been seeing continued iterations of what’s known as ‘Optimize Storage’ on Mac. This is a built-in series of tasks that can be completed in an effort to free up space on your hard drive. Here’s how you can use Optimize Storage on Mac...
For this reason, you can optimize overall cluster performance by using multiple virtual disks with 3–4 columns (when using mirrors) or seven columns when using parity spaces. The performance of the entire cluster remains high because multiple virtual disks are used in parallel, making up for ...
