Can Drive Bender and DrivePool coexist on same machine?

[mzaleski]

I currently have a production Windows 7 system using Drive Bender.  I'm fairly sure the file performance issues I'm having are directly related to that software but I want to confirm this before ordering a DrivePool license.

 

I will be removing several drives from my Drive Bender pools and adding them to DrivePool.  The two products won't be sharing physical drives.

 

Are there any known issues with having both packages active on the same computer?

I've had no issues when running Drive Bender and DrivePool on the same machine, so long as they use different drives. In fact, it's how I migrated to DrivePool.

Yes, you can run both concurrently, without any problem.  

 

You can also use the same drives, but that can introduce issues. 

 

That said, we do have a conversion guide here:
