Hey,
My PC currently has several hard drives installed
Disk 0: 240SSD - Boot Drive, (C:)
Disk 1: 4TB - (No Drive Letter) - (Disk 1) **Should be C:\Drives\tv1**
Disk 2: 4TB - (No Drive Letter) - (Disk 2) **Should be C:\Drives\tv2**
Disk 3: 2TB - (No Drive Letter) - (C:\Drives\films1)
Disk 4: 2TB - (No Drive Letter) - (C:\Drives\films2)
Disk 5: 750GB, Partitioned as D, Y & C:\Drives\films3 **Should be C:\Drives\tv3**
Disk 6: Virtual F Drive (DrivePool Disk 3 & Disk 4)
Disk 7: Virtual T Drive (DrivePool Disk 1 & Disk 2 & Partition on Disk 5 & Disk 8)
Disk 8: 500GB - No Drive Letter - (C:\Drives\tv2) **Should be C:\Drives\tv4**
I've currently got 2 drivepools active - F (4TB) and T, (8.7TB)
I'm looking at adding 2 new 4TB drives and moving a 2TB, so I would end up with:
F: (3 x 4TB)
T: (1 x 4TB & 1 x 2TB)
D: & Y sharing (1 x 2TB)
So, I want to remove Disk5 and Disk8 - adding the 2 x 4TB drives. Can I phyiscally remove the drives and swap them over without changing DrivePool initially or do I need to remove from pool and then add to pool. The only reason I ask is that I don't have any Sata connections left on my PC, So I would have to connect them as USB drives and then add them to the pool etc - then physically move them from USB to sata connection etc...
