[Remove Drive Without Moving Files]

I really like this feature.  Thanks for having it.   It was useful for me because ...

Spent a couple of days intermittently wondering why a pool wouldn't come back properly.  Remeasuring is just taking forever (days!) but hd-sentinel shows drives all healthy.  Accessing drives individually was fast-ish.  Couldn't tell whether any lag I experienced was because of it being bogged down by remeasure or if it's really slow.  I even have new hard drive enclosures in my cart ready for a purchase!

Finally, came across this thread and decided to eject a member (had my suspicions) and the pool is blazing (albeit missing the files of this drive of course)!  But, in my situation, a semi working pool is better than a non working pool.   Now I can work on this bad drive separately.  i.e. scandisk, recovering files, whatever.   

In hindsight, I suppose I could've physically ejected it, but this gives a nice flexible troubleshooting technique for these half broken mysterious sort of , but not really broken drives I guess.  

[Kudos for DrivePool]

Hi All!

 

I hope "general" is the right place to put this, but I wanted to thank the devs and spread kudos for a product that makes all my data hoarding, pack ratting, truly jbod hanging around dreams come true.  Drivepool "gets" what I want to do and make so much sense!

 

The concept is so beguilingly simple, its not trying to be fancy for fancy's sake, and just does the job in a nice, polished manner.

 

Thank you!
