I'm seeing a lot of varying information on this subject. I am building a new Hyper-V home lab and want to setup my Host system drive + Guest system drive strategy.
Have purchased two Samsung 860 500gb drives with the intent to mirror and solve for both host and then guest system drives in different partitions.
Would like some thoughts on this though. Any other preferred strategy?
Also, what is the best method to mirror the drives? use the motherboards intel SATA controller to fakeRAID1 them or to use dynamic disks in Hyper V?
(Can I do this with Dynamic disks? I guess partition and install to one disk during setup, then mirror in powershell after?)
I have 8x4tb drives for storage that I intend to use via Storage Spaces VM. Quick question on this one too... should I pass the physical disks to the Storage Spaces VM to manage?
