I'm wondering what would the best use in my situation. I have 15 drives in a pool and don't have any data duplicated at the moment. A drive failed recently but Drivepool was able to move all files off that drive when removing it from the pool so no harm done. But, this got the thinking - what if I'm not so lucky in the future and a drive dies.
If I had duplication turned on and everything in the pool was duplicated, if a single drive died, it could be forcibly removed from the pool and no files would be lost - since everything is on at least two-drives at a time? Am I correct in thinking this?

Thank you for any advice.
