Windows 10 - Storage Pool

Verb

I have my storage pool set to Parity with 3 drives (currently 1 x 1TB, 1 x 2TB & 1 x 4TB)


The drive that is a 1TB is showing 95% full. I want to remove this and put in a new 4TB but there is no remove function at all on any of the drives.


Is this because the drive is 95% full??


Or is something else wrong??


Can I force the drive removal in anyway??


I only have music and video on here is Parity the best option or should I go for two-way mirror??

I see you haven't had any replies - sorry I don't have an answer either...

You could try a forum that specialises more in servers and storage, like the forum in http://www.wegotserved.com/
if you get nothing more here. HTH!

I'm not a Microsoft storage guy (I do it all with ZFS these days) but with three disks of different sizes, I would suspect that unless you explicitly set up parity (in which case you would have a _total_ space of 2TB) you've ended up with a "simple" pool with no redundancy.

I assume Win10 will be the same as Server 2012
