wolfpac got a reaction from Christopher (Drashna) in Pooled drives internal to external HDD case?
Yeah HUGE relief, so glad I bought the combo of Drivepool and Scanner! Well worth the 'cost of admission'!
Ah ok then, there's 2 enclosures I've been looking at, one is USB3.0 only, the other is USB3.0 and eSATA. The eSATA one seems to have issues with not seeing all the drives on certain chipsets so I'll have to make sure the PCIe card I get is capable.
But that's good to know, as long as WHS can see it, Drivepool can see the pool, everything continues working.

I don't think anyone likes drives dying!
But yeah, it's nice when our software can help make that easier!
And yes, you should be fine to do this. I would recommend using eSATA (or SAS, if you have the money), as USB has issues with long term connectivity that could affect your data.
And as long as the external enclosure passes the disks through to the OS, so that our software can see them, there is absolutely no issues with moving them around.
