bejhan Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I previously had a drive in an external enclosure and have just moved it inside of the case. DrivePool is still marking this drive as external. Is there any consequence to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rob Manderson Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I'm pretty sure it's not harmful - I have 4 drives in an enclosure that was originally connected through USB3 and therefore considered external. A few months ago I switched the enclosure to eSata but the drives are still considered external. I assume it's because they were external when added to the pool. Nonetheless, it irks me that they are considered external! :-) But it's not so important that I'd be prepared to remove them one drive at a time and re-add (along with the balancing etc) just to get that internal designation. Anyway, I've seen no problems arising due to the incorrect designation and this is over a period of 3 or 4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bejhan Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 Thanks for the response. I was considering removing and re-adding the drive just to get rid of the external label but, like you, I decided it's not worth the effort if it's just a label with no actual consequences.
