Follow Covecube on Twitter.3 T drive
Trying to add a new drive to WHS 2011. Its a 3T drive so I want to add it as two 1.5 drives.
Drive currently has no partitions.
It shows up under DrivePool as addable to the pool. If I use DrivePool to add this drive how will it be partitioned?
Should I not do this and add the drive via WHS 2011 if so how do I do this? The drive when plugged in does not cause any kind of alert to be generated.

Hi jim
May i ask why you need to partition the drive then add it to the pool by doing that it still is 1 drive as that is how the pool works makes many drives as 1 and drivepool supports 3Tb drives so there is no need to partiton it

Has anyone moved the client computer backups folder to the pool?
I also have a separate backup drive (used for WHS server backup), would it make sense to add the client computer backups folder to the list of folders backed up by WHS? That way I would have a backup of the server and all client computer backups.
The drive actually came from a WHS v1 computer and was partitioned 2T / 1T, with the 1T never being used. I never even realized that WHS v1 only used 2T on a 3T drive
Under WHS 20111 I couldn't get it to format the second 1T partition at all, the option was greyed out.
The key was using Windows Disk Management to re-partition the disk as a GPT disk and then format two new partitions. Once I flipped it to be a GPT disk I could as you say have formatted the entire disk as a single 3T disk.
I have a second 3T disk (also from WHS V1) which I need to reformat and add to the pool. This one will be added as a single 3T disk.
