I am updating my BI Server and want more storage space for clips. A past incident showed me just how important it is to me to keep clips longer than I currently do. With the costs of WD Purple HDDs being what they are, I was thinking of reusing three 4TB drives I have laying around until the prices get more reasonable. I know that may not happen, but it is worth the try to me.
I was thinking that instead of having three more drives at 4TB each, combining those three drives into one 12 TB volume, like a spanned volume or a Storage Space simple volume.
I have been reading up on this and one of the entries in the Windows Forum states that "Some OEM or third‑party tools expect "normal" disks and may not understand Storage Spaces volumes."
I have looked through the BI help file and found nothing addressing this issue. Checked this forum and also did not see anything about it.
Does anyone know if this would be a problem? Has anyone done this? Any pointers?
Thanks Bob
