Absolutely, I always prioritize RAID 1. RAID 5 works well too.

I wouldn't simply move the C drive details to another storage device, because Windows installs three partitions on a drive during setup. Instead, I'd install the same Windows version on the new drive and then move the program files and related folders there. This way, recovery partitions and other essentials would remain intact.

I also thought about using RAID 5 with a few 1 or 2TB drives.

I've never used Microsoft Storage Spaces before and I'm unsure if it would work. I'm curious about setting up mirroring on a boot drive and whether that's feasible. In the end, a fresh installation seems like the safest option with minimal concerns.

I understand, I’m just curious to see if it will function. There seems to be a common restriction on the data transfer size, which might be the main concern.

Would this apply to devices outside Samsung? The information indicated the tool isn't compatible with SSDs from other brands.

It seems the feature only functions with Samsung devices. I located this guide: https://www.howtogeek.com/74623/how-to-u...windows-8/

Based on what I understand, there are no restrictions preventing you from storing it on an internal drive. And yes, copied data remains copied data.
