I have been playing with drivepool over the last few days and I am wondering about moving data between folders. If I move data in a drivepool between two different folders will it keep the data on the same drive or will it assign it to where it thinks it should be copied? My reason is, I have a drive that I want to add to the pool which has several archive folders on it and I want to create a single folder for these archives. If I do this before adding to the drive pool it will only take a few seconds due to the move would be all on the same drive. I am thinking this would take a lot longer if I do it after the drive is added to the pool? Also, when adding multiple drives to the pool, does drive pool put all the data from folders which are named the same into the same folder in the pool? i.e. if I have 3 drives and a folder called pictures on each drive, when I add it to the pool will they all get combined into the same folder? If they are in the same folder after the drives are added to the pool, will drivepool hide the duplicate files?

Good morning,
I have been playing with drivepool over the last few days and I am wondering about moving data between folders. If I move data in a drivepool between two different folders will it keep the data on the same drive or will it assign it to where it thinks it should be copied?
My reason is, I have a drive that I want to add to the pool which has several archive folders on it and I want to create a single folder for these archives. If I do this before adding to the drive pool it will only take a few seconds due to the move would be all on the same drive. I am thinking this would take a lot longer if I do it after the drive is added to the pool?
Also, when adding multiple drives to the pool, does drive pool put all the data from folders which are named the same into the same folder in the pool? i.e. if I have 3 drives and a folder called pictures on each drive, when I add it to the pool will they all get combined into the same folder? If they are in the same folder after the drives are added to the pool, will drivepool hide the duplicate files?
Thanks for the help
