I'm starting my experience with DrivePool and have some questions regarding product
- do I understand correctly that after adding a disk to a pool I can change the drive letter assigned to this disk, I can change the interface (from sata to usb enclosure) and DrivePool will always find this certain disk and present files in the pool (files that are stored on this particular disk)
- if disk starts to fail I can remove it from PC (without removing from the pool) and pool will not be affected (but surely files stored on that disk will not be presented) ?
and then I can attach replacement disk to the pool and just copy files from faulty one to PoolPart directory on new one and that will do the job so files will be once again visible in the pool despite the fact that previous disk is missing and although it was not yet removed from the pool but simply is not connected to the PC
- if disk is a part of a pool then is it possible to make some changes like for example creating new partition on that disk or changing a size so DrivePool will recognize it automatically and resize pool ?
- let's say I have all my disks in one usb enclosure and would like to use it on both PC1 and PC2 by reconnecting USB plug from one computer to another; can I copy pool settings to have same pool on different computers ? or DrivePool will detect PoolPart directories and will create a pool automatically
- can I change pool letter using Windows or 3rd party partitioning software ?
- is it possible to have this tool Everything https://www.voidtools.com/ indexing pool and not only disks added to the pool ?
- is there any speed increase if TeraCopy is copying from the pool ?
BTW: It would be so much better if there will be a wizard upon adding a new disk (with existing files on it) asking if I want to automatically move files to the pool. Right now it just adds a disk to the pool, pool is empty and after a little bit of searching you find out this : http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_Q4142489
but software can ask and if confirmed do this for user upon adding a disk to a pool
