I've been using Drivepool, love it, don't love drives dying but happy that Drivepool and Scanner work hand in hand to avoid disaster.
Anyway, I'm looking to move the pool in my WHS2k11 'server' case to a dedicated 8 or 10 bay external hard drive case (something like an Orico 10 bay or Hotway 8 bay case, eSATA and USB connection back to the 'server').
Apologies if this is the 1000th time this has been asked, can I "safely" just physically remove all of the drives from inside the case and then install them in the stand alone HDD case?
Magically Drivepool on the WHS box knows where the drives are when I plug in the drives into the case, then connect it to the WHS box and everything continues on happily?
