Two-Finger Click (Right-Click) on the 'Macintosh HD', click on 'GET INFO'. Remember, clean desktop, clean mind! - Aaaahh. Instructions, Finding Your Hard-Disk Information:Ĭlear your desktop. To view your disk-space, you must be running an Apple Computer (MAC), running OSX. While you can use Spanned or Striped volume on Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro, you can also use these instructions on Windows 8.1 and even Windows 7.įinally, it's worth pointing out that thanks to Windows 10 flexibility, you can also use Storage Spaces to create a single volume using multiple drives.Are you wondering how much space you have remaining on your Hard-Disk? Wondering why you are getting pop-ups to free-up space? Curious as to the overall size of your drive?įollow the instructions below to see how much disk space you have, as well as how you may clear some commonly cluttered directories. If you're looking to increase read and write performance, while creating a large volume from multiple drives, perhaps Striped volume is the best solution. If you're looking to combine different hard drive sizes to create a large volume, then your better option may be Spanned volume. The best solution for you will depend on what you're trying to accomplish. In addition, both Spanned and Striped volumes do not use parity, which means they the don't provide fault tolerance - if one drive fails you will lose the data on all hard drives -so make sure to create regular backups of your computer.
The only caveat with these solutions is that you cannot use hard drives containing a Windows installation as the operating system can't boot from a Dynamic disk. Another difference between these two solutions is that you can easily add more hard drives to your computer to extend a Spanned volume, something that is not supported on Striped volumes.
