Was really looking forward to building a new home server based around W8...especially all the hype about pooled storage...
Setup went well, great I thought.. onto the pool.. painless... then I started to play..
Ok, so I wanted to swap out one of the disks I had included in the pool for a larger one.. and no, you cant do that! I dont think you can remove, swap or upgrade any of the disks in an active pool! WTF???
POINTLESS!
Back to W7 and DriveBender...
Tried DB on W8 but theres some sort of bug, confirmed by DB, that strips ID3 tag info and the abilitiy to view image thumbs from any content copied into the pool!... theyve flagged it up with M$.. NICE!
