Windows 8 is coming with these awesome
storage option you never expected, even you can transfer 6 GB data from two 4
GB USB by combining their space at one.
Everyone of us is now
ready to be with Microsoft’s Hurrah… lol its Windows 8.
Some time before not so
time it was the time when 80 GB of Hard disk was meant a lot for a user but now
it will be look like where one will store the plenty of the blue ray rip ovies
collection in the hard disk. So Now its going 500 GB as Normal but who knows
after the recovery from the flood in Thailand what will be the demand of the
increasing RAM and speed will add up the TBs of the Storage is coming and
management of the hard drive and partition will be in focus of the user. So you
are going to end up this post with the new technology that coming in windows 8
for better optimization of hard drive in Windows.
Thanks for proceeding.
Believe me it’s very efficient as I came across after many research.
The main three changes
that will be here are
Storage
pooling
Thin
provisioning
Data
Resiliency and working in Sync
Now let’s get to the
point what all that for what one should be exited.
Storage Pooling
As already told u and
experience that HDD space are shrinking day by day. Now if your previous Hard
disk is full you have two option either you free up space (Tedious job) or add
the new drive to the PC. Now if you want to extend the space of the partition
of previous drive you cannot do that though you have new hard disk ready with new
partition. But Now Its Over. Yes, Windows 8 is going to bring this change
possible that with the empty space of new hard drive you can extend the space
of the previous drive. Not only this you can make a partition using more than
one drive.
Let’s get closer.
Suppose you have a 250 GB of HDD with 50 GB as windows 100 GB as Songs 50 GB as
Photos and rest for movies that you had only few earlier. But as your
collection grew you decided to add a 500 GB of HDD but you could create new
drive for the movie partition. But now you can extend your movie partition or
songs partition by adding the free space from the new HDD. Isn’t really
amazing? You can create even 700 GB of partition by using two 500 GB of drive.
Thin Provisioning

Lets suppose you having a
hard drive of 500 GB and your partition is as 100 GB for Windows 100 for Songs
200 for movies and Rest 100 for document. What if your Movie partition is
filled up. Earlier you had option that you can shrink the hard drive of document
and add this up to Movies but now, you can increase the Movies partition to 1TB
and Songs to 500 GB. One minute one minute, in realty there is no any physical
existence of the space told above but Windows 8 can create the virtual Hard
drive space that will reflect the more then its physical existence. As soon as
you connect the new hard drive your windows 8 hard drive will start using the
space from new drive.
Suppose you added 2 TB
after 500 GB then, when the disk will be full then it will add up the real
storage to the virtual one. And give you smooth functioning. Don’t bother if u
disconnect the HDD then in same case your data will not be visible but space
will be showing blank.
Data Resiliency and working in sync
As it is clear that
windows 8 will be able to maintain the Multiple hard drives and large no of
data. And for the backup purpose you must had multiple copies of the data on
the hard drive say you have 2 hard drive and you are having the 3 copies of any
data 1 on first and rest 2 on another hard disk. In case your second hard drive
fails or you plug off that. In that case too windows will access the data from
first hard drive and making it accessible. As soon as another blank drive is
connected the windows will automatically create the mirror image of the same
data on new drive with same no of times.
And last that should never
miss is USB drives.
Windows 7 is already with
function of converting the Pen drives as RAM (Read More) but 8 will be more fantastic. You can
add up the USB storage to the hard drive of the computer to store data. Even
you can combine the larger data on two USB. Suppose you are having two 2 GB pen
drive and you have to store a 3 GB data then windows 8 will treate the 2+2 GB
storage as single 4 GB and you can easily store 3 GB data which was not
possible earlier.
