Storage Spaces / Data question


i test 2012 essentials first time.  plan on having os on raid 1 , data either on raid 10 perc 6 or go storage spaces route. 

1.  have bunch of data on raid 10 array in whs 2011 box.  can move array on 2012 box , keep data?

assuming go storage spaces (for data) on 2012 box:

1.  if os flakes , needs reinstalled, storage spaces data still there after os reinstall?

2.  if mb dies, can move drives new system , not lose data?

thanks,

probably storage spaces better option, please research before make final determination. blog post (for windows 8, basics applicable windows server 2012, including essentials) offers decent overview of storage spaces.

regarding questions:

  • i don't know how array created, don't know if move easily. assume won't front.
  • the blog post answers other 2 questions.

note storage spaces new technology. pro, loath trust in new technologies, if offer significant advantages on existing familiar ones, because not of bugs have been worked out yet. not using storage spaces in production anywhere.


i'm not on whs team, post lot. :)
