size problem

Question

StableBit DrivePool version: 2.0.0.400 x64

System version: Windows 7SP1 x64.

 

There are two drives for 500GB. Combine them in a pool. Size is 1TB. In pool settings include the option «Pool File Duplication». The pool size is still 1TB, 500GB instead. Why not 500GB?

DrivePool tells you the total amount of storage available.

 

The reason behind this, is that while you may have pool file duplication enabled, you can disable duplication on other folders. So reporting it as 500GB could be inaccurate.

Also, you can set the duplication to 3x or higher on specified folders. Again, making the reporting inaccurate, or a lot more complex to report. 

 

So we've opted to keep this simple, and just report the raw capacity.
