Default Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller might be bad for privacy and effect your hardware

Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller might be bad for privacy and effect
your hardware.

In my last reply here I explained how I am recovering from some bad PC
symptoms. Enlightenment came when I saw an image of storage file for a PC
SSD on my Android smartphone. I had been trying to access that drive on
my PC with no luck. The offending software that caused this stupid
miracle was DropBox. So I set about removing DropBox everywhere.
Microsoft's OneDrive was a competitor in that marketplace. I had bought a
large amount of SSD storage; I didn't want any web storage other than
Google Drive. So I set about removing OneDrive everywhere. Microsoft
Storage Spaces Controller is new. It looks like Microsoft considers its
decision superior to a human's. If Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller
can find storage online, it prefers to give you that storage rather than
your device storage you're trying to connect to.

Not only does this conflict with a hardware driver software, it puts your
secret business online. This is bad since lately I've been doing research
into Brazilian contract killings.

Storage spaces appears to be a way of building a pool
similar to a RAID.

Is the drive on your PC still non-functional ?

What does Disk Management show (right-click start, in the menu there) ?
Is there a row in Disk Management corresponding to the drive ?

If you open Device Manager, does the SSD have an item there in
the drive section ?

Yes,

My SEDNA - PCI Express mSATA III (6G) SSD Adapter with 1 SATA III Port
device has been working reliably for 4 days. The other part of the good news
I'm reporting is that Sedna is unreliable unless an mSATA III SSD is used
also in addition to a SATA SSD. Sedna was unreliable with just a SATA SSD
attached by cable. I struggled with that problem for months, until Dropbox
(upgrade) showed virus like qualities. An image of SATA SSD D: showed up on
my Android phone.

This may be an arcane problem for newbies with new hardware.

The public service part of this announcement is that Dropbox and MS OneDrive
may expose your online files to scrutiny.

Microsoft Storage Spaces Control can not be turned off in Win10 (its new)
and there are no settings for it.
