Is drivepool ideal for storage of 4k UHD movies?

[jamieuk147]

I have around 80 4k UHD movies legally backed up as well as 400 Blu-ray movies.

 

I'm guessing to add all these files onto drivepool would take many weeks to create?, Due to file size

 

Thanks

Due to the way DrivePool works (each physical drive added to the pool gains a hidden poolpart folder that DrivePool uses to form the virtual pool drive), if you're willing to use the drives your files are already on to form your pool then you can directly move your existing files into the pool with a few precautions.

Otherwise you would need to copy them into the pool at the usual speeds involved.
