I've been running my first server (a Gen8 w/ WHS2011) for about a year and I'm about to add a 4TB Red to the rack (along with the existing 60GB SSD and 2TB Red) (see image attached).
So I decided to get DrivePool so I can consolidate all my files into the one place when I add the new drive.
My questions are as follows:
- What is that (D:) drive? It's always been there...
- What's the best way to "move" everything from (F:) into the DrivePool (E:) and switch the mapped letters so that I don't have to change any file paths?
- Can I "move" everything from the SSD (C:) into the DrivePool and get the software to recognise that program files need to remain on the SSD and not get balanced to anywhere else?
- How do I add the new drive when I get it? Is it just plug-and-play?
Can't wait for feedback. Thanks, Watson.
