Just read this thread and decided based on this and other research and Drashna's recommendations to make the switch from DB to DP as well. I recently had a HD fail in my DB pool and upon removing the drive I am now missing data Thankfully I had a backup, but decided since DB is not supported as much anymore and with the data loss, I'm done!
Thanks for the write up here on transferring from DB to DP. I will be doing this the next couple days. Thanks
