I'm starting to go the Storage Spaces route, using parity and integrity streams in order to just let the system fix silent errors without having to ever worry about my data. However, it's a bit of a pain to add new drives to expand the storage, and I suspect also removing drives will result in problems.
My current idea is to put identical HDDs in pairs (and also buy new drives in pairs) and mirror them. Then use DrivePool to pool these into one big drive. Is this a good way of doing it, or do you recommend something else? Will DrivePool at some point do the background error fixing that I currently need Storage Spaces for?
