Explanation
A Storage Spaces two-way mirror must be built from empty drives to avoid destroying existing data, and Drives 3 and 4 are the only two drives with no data.
Common mistakes.
- A. Drive 1 holds the active OS volume and Drive 2 holds a data volume; both would be destroyed when their disks are added to a Storage Spaces pool.
- B. Drive 1 contains the running OS volume, which Windows does not allow to be added to a Storage Spaces pool while it is the system drive.
- C. Drive 2 contains a 400 GB data volume that would be erased when the disk is initialized into a Storage Spaces pool, causing unnecessary data loss.
