0 Jaga Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I use BitDefender, but I set the actual DrivePool itself to excluded (no scans directly on the DrivePool letter or directories). I do this for compatibility, since any files I add to the pool have already "landed" and been scanned on machines on the same network. In other words, if you don't download/save files directly to the pool from the web, you don't need to run real-time scans on the pool. Just have a separate machine or directory that IS scanned, which takes all new content from the web first, and you're pretty safe. I also never run programs directly from the DrivePool. I instead copy them to the C: drive of the machine I plan to run them from. That copy is protected by the AV software, and so anything coming off the Pool is re-scanned then. From that perspective if you can set exclusions in whatever AV you are using, you can pick whichever you like, Defender included. Using this technique and a tuned network layer, I've managed to get my storage server to take network writes to the Pool at around 112-115 MB/s (fully saturated Gigabit). No AV scanning, full speed.

0 MetalGeek Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I also use Bitdefender on all of my machines. I don't have any exclusions on my server so it scans the pools. Never had any issues with it on any version of either software. It just works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Alex and I just use Windows Defender, honestly. But I don't think either of us are on 1803, yet (which seems to have a bunch of issues) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TechieGuy Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I use Windows Defender. I just checked the machine with DrivePool and I'm still on 1709. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
