Summary

Completed

Storage Spaces Direct turns local drives into resilient cluster storage. Production success depends on the complete stack:

• Validated symmetric hardware.
• Durable cache devices.
• Sufficient repair reserve.
• Redundant low-latency SMB paths.
• Appropriate mirror or parity placement.
• ReFS volume design.
• Repeatable validation.
• Health, performance, capacity, and reliability monitoring.
• Controlled maintenance.
• Evidence-driven troubleshooting.
