Awesome thanks so much! That answers all of my questions. Shame about the Parity though. I guess it will duplicate the files offpeak overnight etc

Hi Guys, So recently one of my 6Tb drives in my pool died. I had 2 x 6Tb drives and lost half my data. So i have now installed 3 x 10Tb drives in my NAS(HP Gen 8). I was originally looking at raid 5 . so 2 x 10TB + 1 drive for parity. But i was suggested to use Drivepool to do this. How exactly would i set this up so i have drive failure redundancy? My Setup is as below 3 x 10TB WD Red 1 x 500GB SSD Boot drive 16GB RAM

Hi, Thanks for your quick reply! Yeah i was thinking perhaps i can keep the 1 large pool and have my seperate drives as folders and as i increase space i just add another drive to the pool expanding it. Can you see any downsides to this option?

Hi Guys, Really cool product i just installed it. Just curious is it possible to set the size of the pool and have multiple drive pools? I.e i have a 6TB HDD but i only want to create a 3TB pool and perhaps expand later or create a new one. Thanks!
