[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 926045, member: 111675"] This is a really interesting idea - I had never considered doing anything like this for my current set up, which has two 2TB Samsung F4s and a 500GB 2.5" Samsung F8. I can see the obvious benefits of having this set up - i.e. not having to worry about a particular hard drive filling up but how would a "drive pooling" program divide files between hard drives? Also, what are the downsides's to having one single, theoretical drive? The things that might put me off is that if the Drive Pooling program spreads files evenly over the disks, it might end up recording to my very slow laptop hard drive which has terrible performance compared to my F4s. Also, I have one dedicated hard drive for recording TV and the other two are really for storage, including TV recording that I want to keep. I have all of them to spindown after 20 mins of inactivity so the recording Hard Drive is the one that often gets used a lot more. Would a Drive Pooling program interfer with this and have all hard drives spun up all the time? [/QUOTE]
