I have recently finished building my new server (windows server essentials 2012 R2) i have the following drives
a 120 gig samsung 850 pro for the os
4x 3 tb WD red drives for server backup/client backup with 2 being used for data drives for shares.
3 x 2 tb as a pool for media
i would like to if possible create one large disc in a kind of raid 0 with the 3 2tb drives or use it like that.
All the drives are connected on sata 6 to the onboard conctroller on the motherboard, i am not that fussed about duplication on these drives as the important stuff is on the other two, i also have a usb 3 drives for the off site backups.
i have installed the trial of drive pool and added the 3 drives to it, but now i see 6 drives 3 labeld drive pool 3 new disc. i was under impression (most likely wrongly) that it would show up as one large pool?
Can anyone shed any light on what i may have done wrong please
