and resiliency, and efficiency in Windows 8
I swear, these people at MSFT just do not rest at all.
The folks at the Windows 8 development blog are back again with a very comprehensive post on storage and virtualization in Windows 8.

This time they're talking about "Storage Spaces," which will let you pool both virtual and physical drives (regardless of how they're connected) in a variety of ways to keep your data as safe as possible.
That pooling also includes the ability to expand individual storage pools on an as-needed basis, and various ways to mirror your data for some added redundancy.
It's a very long post so get your popcorn and take your time.
