STATUS_SPACES_DRIVE_NOT_READY

Present is not the same as usable

A physical disk can be discovered by Windows while still being unavailable to Storage Spaces for allocation, repair, or I/O. This status is a readiness condition, not a proof that the drive has permanently lost data. It must be correlated with the member's operational state, enclosure path, controller health, and the virtual disk that depends on it.

What to check first

Inspect the physical disk's OperationalStatus, HealthStatus, usage, and provider details.
Check power, cabling, enclosure, HBA/controller, and firmware events for the exact member.
Do not reset or retire the disk before deciding whether the condition is recoverable; a reset is destructive for normal Storage Spaces membership.
