I am running Windows Server 2012 R2. I have C: and D: partitions at the moment. There are two hard disks, C: is on one disk and D: is expanded on remaining space of first disk and the other disk. Can I add another hard disk and expand D: further, without loosing any data? Thanks in advance.

2You can, but it usually isn't a good idea, since it increases the chance that a drive failure will result in data lose. – Zoredache Feb 22 '17 at 05:24

If Roles are configured on your server for the D drive then go to Administrative Tools -> Cluster Manager -> Roles -> File-Share. On clicking ' File Share ' some tasks will be available on the right hand side, clicked 'Add Storage '. The additional (online) disks will be visible and click the disk u want to add to D drive and press 'OK'. Now your D drive role is extended to the new disk also.

That only makes sense (and not much of it) for a cluster, which is not involved here. – Massimo Aug 22 '17 at 11:22
