You have a computer that runs Windows 8. You have a1-terabyte external hard drive. You purchase a second
1-terabyte external hard drive.
You need to create a fault-tolerant volume that includes both external hard drives. You also need to ensure that

Note:
To create a storage space, you’ll have to connect two or more additional drives to your computer, youcan’t use
your system drive for this. The drives can be either internal or external drives.
You can open the Storage Spaces configuration window from the Control Panel or by bringing up the Start
screen with the Windows key, typing “Storage Spaces,” clicking the Settings category and selecting theStorage
Spaces shortcut.
Select the drives you want to use for the storage space and click the “Create pool” button to continue. You’ll
lose any files that are already on the drive so, copy any important files off the drives before pooling them. You
can add additional drives later.
The resiliency type controls how Windows handles your data. There are four options:
* None: Windows will store only a single copy of your . You’ll lose the data if one of your drives fails, but no
space will be used on backups.
* Two-way mirror: A two-way mirror storage space writes two copies of you data, helping to protect you from a
single drive failure. A two-way mirror storage space requires at least two drives.
* Three-way mirror: A three-way mirror storage space writes three copies of you data, helping to protect you
from two simultaneous drive failures. A three-way mirror storage space requires at least five drives.
* Parity: A parity storage space writes your data with parity information, helping to protect you from a single
drive failure. A parity storage space requires at least three drives.
