The DrivePool UI froze the WS2012e dashboard when I swapped 2 drives to different bays in my case. I know DP is still running in the background because I received email notifications when the drives went missing and when they were reconnected and successfully polled by DrivePool. I can also read and write to certain folders in the pool. After trying to start the dashboard several times and using task manager to end the task, the dashboard and the DP UI finally came up but not before I had to answer this question: Once in the DP UI the drives still displayed as missing and Scanner displayed them as N/A. In Scanner I tried to view the disk properties of one of the drives and the Dashboard UI crashed. I relaunched it and got the following dialog: I then proceeded to restart the DP service and now the drives display correctly, but now then I could not connect to the Scanner UI: The Scanner UI came back up after restarting the Scanner service. I'd like to get your thoughts on this.

Is it normal for the Windows Server 2012 Essentials Dashboard to become extremely slow and in some cases unresponsive when Scanner is scanning drives? Currently Scanner is checking the health of two drives simultaneously that are connected to separate SAS controllers. I am running the latest stable release of Scanner.
