[Network Shares on Pool]

Hi,

 

i search for one software "RAID" solution and found some different Softwares. I tried before similar software like Drive Bender but has problems with network shares to folders in the pool. Following issue. I've 4 HDD'S each 2TB.

 

1.HDD contains folder "Movies"

2.HDD contains folder "Music"

3.HDD contains folder "Pictures"

4.HDD contains folder "Backups"

 

I've created a Pool with Drive Bender and see the folders. But drive bender try to balance the folder, after that i've physically all this folders on all physically drives. 

 

I see as example the folder Movie on all 4 HDD, and Drive Bender did balanced the files to different folders on different drives. Before creating the pools i has

 

1HDD. Movies\1.mkv, 2.mkv,3.mkv,4.mkv

 

after creating pool i've

 

1. HDD Movies\1.mkv

2. HDD Movies\2.mkv

3. HDD Movies\3.mkv

4. HDD Movies\4.mkv

 

if i enable the share on the pool for Movies i see not all files on the share from another computer!

 

Does it working correctly in DrivePool?

 

I want only a Pool with 4 HDD (dont need dublicating, i've scheduled backups daily). The data shall stay in the original locations even i copy new files to folders it shall stay on original physical location. Movies on HDD1, Music on HDD2 etc. No balancing. I want to create network shares from the pool. Is it possible?
