I tried plugging in only the Toshiba 3TB and then adding the WD back in, Storage Spaces now says the WD drive is "OK" again but still gives a reduced resiliency warning for the Storage Space itself.
The logs just say "Crash dump initilization failed" followed by "The system has rebooted without...

Hello,
This isn't a server question, but I thought this might be a good place to ask for advice as there aren't a lot of ReFS users on more general hardware forums. As I regularly move between two locations with different desktop computers, I recently bought a 3TB WD Passport to store a bunch...
