I have just bought an 8TB WD Elements, and I have yet to shuck it. I though I would just test it by adding it to my DrivePool, and adding it seemed fine; it added and showed the updated pool capacity in Windows. But when I tried to remove it, my PC blue-screened with an APC_INDEX_MISMATCH error or something like that. I first removed it (accidentally) whilst it was syncing, as I hadn't noticed it was on auto-balance.
Then, once I had got over the shock of my speaker freaking out and scaring the crap out of me, I went back to work. Later, I tried removing the disk in DrivePool after ensuring that the auto-balance was disabled. Same result, only my speaker didn't freak out. Is there a special way to remove external drives from a DrivePool? I plan on shucking the disk eventually, but before I get the chance to put it in my system, it will be attached to an external enclosure, and I'd still like to have it in my pool before I can actually connect it internally.
