1) Product loses the display if connecting from RDP and it was already open. Takes 5-10 minutes to reopen
2) Product is extremely slow, can't really use it. Doing any clicking around takes forever or scrolling. I am not sure what makes it so slow but even just trying to expand a drive is hard.
3) Product reported drives as damaged but they do not appear to be, caused 9tb to evac out of drive pool. I had to turn off the balancer and then tell drive pool to rebalance which took quite a long time.
a) Drivepool, it also seems to have quite a few issues. after multiple rebalances to fix the problem caused by Scanner, it still reported a bunch of space that can't be used and some drives still appeared full. Trying to get it to rebalance again did nothing and I ended up having to just stop the service and restarting it, which seemed to fix the problem.
4) Another hard drive that it said was damaged (16 sectors) told me to do a file scan, hitting the button causes the product to freeze for 30 seconds and then it doesn't seem to ever do anything.
All in all I bought the products because I figured it'd be worth it in the end but between scanner not really working and Drivepool who knows what it is doing. ( I mean unduplicated files, other files? but you can't actually see what any of it is)...
I just bought them yesterday but I find myself today trying to find another solution as I am not really sure I can trust either product they do not appear to work correctly.
Anyone has any suggestions i'd appreciate it. Thanks
