Build a Pool with two External HDD?


Mlabonte

Question

Hi,

 

I want to build a pool from 2 x 3tb external Hard drives. The pool obviously will have 6tb in total. My real question is, how this will work? My external HDDs are always connected to my PC, but often without electric power (so they are shutdown). I have a switch to powered on all of them in the same time. Will this work? How Drivepool will manage this? When the two external HDDs come to life, will they appears as only one pool?

 

Thank you very much.

There shouldn't be an issue with that.

 

When StableBit DrivePool detects the drives, it should recreate the pool. 

When one disk goes offline, it will detect it's missing and put the pool into a read only mode. When ALL of the disks from the pool are offline, it will actually remove the pool.

 

So you should be able to use it like this without any issues. :)
