[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1153122, member: 141969"] For me, that is an important advantage of a drive pool. I am hesitant about becoming locked in to a proprietary data format. For example, if my Synology NAS developed a terminal problem, the only way that I could access my data would be to buy another Synology NAS and transfer the disks to it (even if I had already decided that I did not want another Synology NAS!). But don't forget the other advantages: (1) Can use disks of differing sizes. (2) Can expand the size of the pool by simply plugging in another disk. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
