  • Storage Spaces is RAID, there are several options, none of them will repair bit rot but one will make it irrelevant due to parity and mirroring

  • Thanks, but I think your statement is only true in combination with NTFS. "To combat bit rot, ReFS (again, when combined with Storage Spaces) uses its "scrubbing" feature to read all copies of a file in the array and compare their metadata with one another. If a corrupted file is found anywhere in the array, it is replaced by a good copy" link

  • Storage Spaces is still software-ish RAID feature. What file system you use won't change the features of Storage Spaces

  • Yes, but afaik using storage spaces changes the features of ReFS. Still, those two questions ( * ) and ( ** ) are, what I am concerned about.
