# RAID and ReFS in Windows 8

Hi!

What about [RAID](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/39477/which-great-revolutionary-was-the-brain-behind-the-chittagong-armoury-raid)? How do I use [ReFS](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/558/convert-data-between-ntfs-and-refs) [capabilities](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/490/explain-the-concepts-and-capabilities-of-assembly-in-dot-net) of striping, mirroring, or other [forms](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/34192/what-is-the-purpose-of-the-authentication-mode-forms-element-in-web-config) of RAID? Does ReFS deliver the read performance needed for [video](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/290133/6-necessary-preparations-you-need-before-editing-a-video), for example?

Thanks

Hi Pravesh Singh!\

ReFS leverages the data redundancy capabilities of Storage Spaces, which include striped mirrors and parity. The read performance of ReFS is expected to be similar to that of NTFS, with which it shares a lot of the relevant code. It will be great at streaming data.
