cocksy_boy Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi CoveCube team, I'm along time user of DrivePool and have also upgraded to Scanner as well. I love your software, and the integration together. As I gradually increase the size of my data (and disks die, etc), I am often drawn towards other data safeguarding solutions (such as ZFS RAID-Z, Synology SHR, FlexRaid and SnapRAID) as an addition to DrivePool, for potentially more efficient use of limited amount of disks, etc. Each of the above possible solutions always has a downside: ZFS only really works with same sized disks which is cost prohibitive for me. SHR requires dedicated hardware or XPEnology (a possibility, but I'd need extra disks to migrate all my date, which if I had, I'd just use them in DrivePool- plus its possibly a little dubious legally as well as support wise). EDIT: and the drives cannot be moved to another system in an emergency. FlexRaid doesn't exist any more. SnapRAID isn't real time (and doesn't have a native GUI) The first 2 options aren't windows based (which I generally prefer - hence why I use DrivePool & scanner!), so I've never bitten the bullet and gone for any of them. So my question is: is there any hope at all of CoveCube writing a Parity / software based raid solution that has a great GUI and integrates into your other excellent software? I'd happily pay for it, as I have done with your other software, and I'm sure a lot of others would too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
