To be honest, I wasn't 100% comfortable with the arrow not having any text next to it, but I doubt that any designer ever is 100% satisfied with their design. You always want to keep tweaking it to make it perfect, but there are time constraints (plus, we can't exactly afford Johny Ive here).
 
I decided to ship it and listen for feedback, and based on that feedback I've slightly modified the pool options menu.
 
It looks like this now:
 

 
Let me know what you think.

Very cool.
 
That APC box looks familiar (I think).
 
I have a APC UPS that I've hacked to use 4x deep cycle marine batteries to provide 3 to 4 hours backup for my entire office (instead of the built in Li-Ion which would only last 15 min.).

Thanks for your feedback, I'm definitely listening.
 
While strictly speaking this is not a "Metro UI", I agree, it is similar.
 
I thinks that one of the major problems with Metro is discoverability, it is nearly non-existent. If you're not familiar with it then you don't know what to click and where. Other than that, it's pretty neat.
 
So I'll try to add more "discoverability" to DrivePool to make it easier to use.

Case: Norco RPC-4224
Motherboard: Supermicro X9SAE-V
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1245V2
RAM: 32GB Kingston
OS Drive: 60GB Intel 330 Series SSD
VM Drive: 240GB Intel 330 Series SSD
OS Backup Drive: 250GB WD
HBA & SAS Expander: M1015(flashed to LSI 9211-8i) & HP SAS Expander
Storage Pool: 7 3TB WD, 6 Green & 1 Red

I have my entire pool duplicated and I'm currently using about 13.5TB, I just add drives as I need more storage. I've started buying WD Reds instead of greens and I used WDIdle on the green drives to change the head parking from 8 seconds to 5 minutes.
