[Undelete/versioning]

I would like this as well.

[Adding SSD to pool for Cache]

I have been using two SSDs on one pool and two WD Raptors on another, working like a a champ. Great way to reuse those smaller capacity fast drives.

[Change DrivePool Name?]

Thanks. I was going to try that, and the UAC prompt scared me away.

[Change DrivePool Name?]

I currently have three pools.

They are listed in Windows Explorer and in DrivePool as

 

DrivePool (H:\)

DrivePool (G:\)

DrivePool (F:\)

 

Can the name "DrivePool" be altered or changed?

What would the repercussions (if any) be?

Example:

DrivePool Current (H:\)

DrivePool Archives (G:\)

DrivePool Offine (F:\)

 

I searched, but couldn't find an answer. Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving etc.

[StableBit DrivePool Per-Folder Duplication]

I fell in love with multipule pools and have no need of by foldler duplication. But keep it if you must!!!

[Going to the Cloud]

Yes, the bandwidth to upload/download from the cloud is seldom mentioned, the promoters seem to want the public to forget about the cost of that. Example, tablet users with "free" storage space on the web, using cellular connection with limited bandwidth.

The company I work at is looking at updating our SAN storage, what cost us $600K seven years ago cost less than $300K with greatly increased bandwidth and much better software [tiered] with SSDs on the front.

So yes, I agree storage is making great strides, but the bottleneck will be for the foreseeable future the connection from home to remote storage. Around dinner time in my neighborhood eveything slows to a crawl as the drones connect to netflix.

[Pool that only is powered on occasionally?]

I don't use drive letters so sounds like this is a real possiblility for me. I will execute and report back after some testing.

Thank you.

[Pool that only is powered on occasionally?]

I haven't tried this yet, but I was wonder the ramifications of creating a pool that contains data that is only needed say once a month.

How would drive pool react to creating another pool, say with 4 drives, then during a shut down powering those drives off [i would use an external esata unit], then powering on.

 

Any serious issues beyond being reminded that those drives [or pool I guess] is missing?

 

 

Thanks.

[Going to the Cloud]

I like my "cloud" local and private. Therefore, no external access for me. Feel free to develop for others, however.

 

I do the math every year or so. Any serious online storage [TBs] cost more than buying and rotating drives every three years, which of course I haven't had to do that frequently.

 

You can check for yourself, how much does it cost for 55 plus TBs online 24/7?

 

Alex, I "saw" [heard] you being interviewed on utube "StableBit on Home Server Show 219".

 

Very good representation of the product. Yes, I know it was from April but I just found it this morning.
