How to create a storage pool in WINDOWS8

This new feature, called "Storage space," will take advantage of a physical storage facility to make up the data pool. This data pool will be created using SATA, USB, and SAS hard drives and can use additional hardware extensions.

These virtual hard disks, called "spaces", can extend 4TB storage space to 10TB. These storage spaces also provide an elastic layer to solve the problem of errors in different physical media.

Another benefit of this feature is that once a physical hard drive fails, this "storage pool" can automatically generate a copy of the data in the affected place.

The storage device is formatted every time it is created, so you need to back up the data.
