  My plan to use Storage Spaces on Opal hit a speed bump.

  In my recent article Windows Storage Spaces (2023-05-22), I described my experiment with Opal, in which I decided to replace the RAID array created by Intel Rapid Storage with the same type of array created by Storage Spaces. My reaction was generally positive, although I did complain about the UI.

  My opinion has changed. I’ll be reverting to Intel Rapid Storage.

  I decided to try Storage Spaces on Opal, just to see what it would be like.

  It’s a mixed bag. On the one hand, it’s less technically challenging than the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) solution that lives partly in UEFI and partly in a Windows driver. On the other hand, it’s a work in progress, with some confusing configuration steps.

• Microsoft should yank the Win10 version 2004 upgrade now

  Looks like people with a particular kind of Storage Spaces running on their Win10 1903 and 1909 machines are getting bit by yet another bug in Win10 version 2004.

  For the life of me, I don’t understand this hell-bent drive to get a dud of an upgrade pushed out to the masses.
