  1. Hi all. Complete friggin n00b here. Askin all the stupid question. This is one of them: I have created a pool in Stablebit Drivepool (SBDP from now). I am migrating from Storage Spaces (SS from now) to SBDP because i didn't set the correct cluster size when i started using SS and as a result, i banged my head into the 16TB limit. Something big had to be done. I realized i could do 1 of 2 things; 1. Make a new storage space with the correct cluster size and then remove disks from the old storage space to the new one. 2. Give SBDP a try, since I have read a lot of positive reviews about it. Many ppl seemed to consider SBDP to be considerably better than SS. I choose option 2. So, as i said, I have created a pool in SBDP. At the moment it consists of just one 14TB disk. However, that will change when i choose to remove the rest of the HDD's from SS and add it to the new and glorious DrivePool pool At the moment there is one thing that puzzles me; why do i see BOTH the drivepool and the local disk under My Computer? (see attached picture) I would've expected the local disk to "disappear" and become a part of the pool. The way it is now makes me unsure about some things: Which one (local disk or the pool) should i "interface" with? Will more or less fatal errors occur if i use the wrong one? Please bear with me here, please. I feel like i am taking a chance here; moving a lot of precious data and trying out a new system. I just need someone to reassure me and/or explain it to me as if I were a 10 year old And please feel free to tell me all the ways DP is better than SS (and in which way) if that's the case.
