More drives than alphabet.

[billis777]

I'm worrying i will eventually not have free alphabet letters available and not being able to use additional usb sticks, usb blue ray players etc. Is there a workaround?

You can add drives to a pool without needing to give them a letter, and you can add/remove the letters from drives that are already in a pool without affecting the pool.

So you could have for example:

C: (operating system drive)

D: (drivepool virtual drive)
+--> thirty drives with no letters
+--> ten drives with letters E through N

P:, Q:, U: (three usb drives)
R: (bluray drive)

Cheers.

Thanks for the info. How can i remove letters?

[Jimpc]

In Windows: Disk Management>Right-Click Drive in list>Change Drive Letter and Paths> Remove.

Thank you!

After i remove it, is there a way to see or access that hdd on its own?

You can do this: https://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_Q4822624

This hides the letters, and keeps the drives accessible.
