  1. Thank you for the detailed response! I think this might be a dealbreaker unfortunately. Ideally I was hoping for something similar to RAID 1, where data is still readable/writable if one of the mirrored drives goes offline. I realize that it would be easy to remove a drive from the pool, but not everyone working at this business would have have skills to do that and that would result in downtime if the person with that knowledge wasn’t working at that time.
  2. We use a point of sale software that uses a shared network folder to store all of it's data. This data lives in the C:\PointOfSale folder on our primary computer. Two other computers access this folder via a SMB share over our network. The files are very old school dBase databases. We run daily backups (both to a NAS as well as a cloud storage provider), but we're looking to add more redundancy in case there is an SSD failure during the day and we lose a few hours of data (as the backups only run after hours). I was curious if my understanding of DrivePool is correct and if my plan will work: Add a second SSD to our primary computer (let's call it the D drive). Set up folder duplication only for C:\PointOfSale to be duplicated to the D drive. If the primary C drive fails, we would still have a full (and current) copy of our data on the D drive. Would this scenario work with DrivePool? Any gotchas I should keep an eye out for? Thanks!
