I'm almost ready to switch and thought of one more scenario last night as I was preparing. Thank you for your help already. 1) If I have multiple hard drives, all of which have the same folder names and folder structures, when I pool them together with the folders compress into one? 2) If I have multiple hard drives, all of which have the same folder names and folder structures, and some of the folders have files that have the exact same names (on multiple hard drives) - When I pool them together do all the files show up? Are they renamed? Are the copied over each other? - what happens?

Looking at moving to DrivePool+scanner as a means of duplicating data and monitoring health. I've been reading a lot and have a few questions. 1) When duplicating, is the duplicated information moved in whole to another drive or is it broken up through multiple drives? I have sixteen 8TB hard drives. Is it possible for me to lose two drives at one time and find out that the duplicated information from drive 1 that failed was partially on another drive that failed? 2) If I have a duplicated folder structure and that hard drive dies, does the duplicated folder recopy itself to the new drive I put it automatically? If there a faq for this process? 3) Continued from above - are the duplicate folders accessible? If I had a hard drive that died in the pool does the duplicate version of the files from the hard drive suddenly become accessible through the pool? 4) Are the duplicated folder structures in the pool view able through explorer? I.e., any folder that is duplicated will show up twice? Thanks for the help!
