[what if I want to move all my drives that have use drivepool to a new computer]

Hello, can I just unplug my drives, plug them in the new computer and install drivepool and call it a day ?

 

Thanks

[Newbie question about backup]

Hello, I started my free trial last month to manage my music libraries and audio production data using drivepool to combine 5 nvme drives. So far I am convinced that I like the system and will buy it at the end of the trial.

Now I am a bit concerned about the backup. I don't really understand the whole thing about "duplicated" files. I didn't understand what settings to tweak

Currently my drivepool is 8,18 To (2.36 free).

Currently if one of my nvme drives fail, I loose all the data right ? 

If I buy a 10 To 3.5 HDD, what setup would you advise me to do ? Just manually copy pasting the pool folder to my hdd from time to time ? Setting up a mirror raid between the pool and the hdd ? Or some other settings inside Drivepool ? 

[Newbie Here. Will Drivepool reduce the lifespan of my nvme ssds ?]

Nervermind. I crystaldiskmark all my drives. Found out that my brand new samsung 970 EVO plus 2 tb was the bottleneck. Everyone was peaking at 70-80 mo/s in regard to random read spead 4K Q1D1 but him. He was at 40-45

I'v taken it out of the pool, and now the pool peak at 71 mo/s 4k read spead as it should. And real-life loading speed are good !

Hello, thanks. I now understand better the mechanism behind it. 

I m running some tests. I am loading a music instrument inside a sampler named Kontakt (standalone app). The patch I am loading weight 18 Gb. I tried to put it outside the pool, then inside the pool. 

When it's inside the pool, it seems to take a bit more time to load.

Something like 0.5 sec when outside the pool, but 2 seconds when inside the pool. Is it because I am using different SSD models in my pool ? 

- Samsung 980 1 tb (gen 3, Dramless) 0.5s when the library is here

- Samsung 970 Evo plus 2tb (gen 3, dram) 0.5s when the library is here

- Netac nv7000 2 tb (gen 4, dram) 0.5s when the library is here

 

This famous sampler have a "batch re-save" function, which basically re-save that specific library in the exact path (a little bit like indexing which make loading times super fast, and you only perform a batch re-save once per library and forget it. So there's a workaround for this, but still out of curiosity, do you have any idea why loading speed seems slower when using the pool ? Give me best guidances

 

THANKS

Hello, I only have nvme M2 ssds on my system. I use them for music production librairies, therefore in "read" most of the time.

I am currently testing drivepool. Will it reduce the lifespan of my ssds by constantly writing, with the rebalance feature ? 

Or Am I over-thinking this ? 

 

Thanks
