    As much as I would like to play with this new Windows 8 feature (Storage Spaces) it does not look like it was release in the Windows 8 developer preview. But it does not look like we’ll have to wait long to see it and play with it as it is supposed to be part of the Windows 8 public Beta, which is due out late February 2012 as per toms hardware:

    Here is a link to the MSDN Blog “An inside look from the Windows engineering team” detailing some of the features and of Storage Spaces.

    This is definitely something on my radar of things to watch for once the Windows 8 Beta is out.

    10TB limit? I already have more than that now on my media server.

    Strange that a next-gen technology like that would have such a modest limit by today's standards.

    There's no 10TB limit. It's just the logical size chosen for the example. From the MSDN post:

    "...subject to its maximum logical size of 10TB. If needed, you can certainly also increase the maximum logical size of a space."
