  • I too currently have all 3TB WD Green drives.   They actually run a bit hot for me.  Since DrivePool is not the same as a raid array,  would the Green vs Red's "Time Limited Error Recovery" feature help a DrivePool scenario?  So yeah, My Green's are…
  • So as I said, on my 2012 server, "Computer Browser" services on MEDIA was disabled.  I started it and also set it to Automatic.  This allowed me to actually access my server if I manually type \\MEDIA while in my laptop.   The MEDIA computer name wa…
  • For people that want to run the connector, but don't want the client to be forced to auto join the domain, I found MS released a registry fix. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserveressentials/thread/aa40963c-7235-40f7-85f5-8f8d0…
  • I'm learning more:  The following two threads might help me tackle the learning curve of 2012, I'll try not to hyjack this thread with unrelated problems.  :-/   need help though! http://forum.wegotserved.com/index.php/forum/338-networking/see "How…
  • If nobody has any ideas on the strange Computer Browser behavior above, I might re-instal 2012l from scratch again tomorrow.  It's not that hard and I haven't done much since the vanilla setup and adding drivepool.   I should see how the computer fi…
  • Did I say "this week"? I meant tonight of course! (couldn't wait)So I actually remembered to deactivate my Scanner license this time finally before blowing away C: I love how 2012 doesn't have that stupid minimum hard drive requirement that 2011 had…
  • Excellent!  I'm ready to dive in this week then.
  • Were  you using 2011 before?  I want to hear that my current 2011 pool "should" be picked up by the new DrivePool install once I get 2012 on.
  • Let us know how it works Chuck.  I'll blow away my 2011 and put on 2012 if it's working for you. I'm ready to help beta test.  Hopefully my external USB 3.0 2011 drive pool drives are picked up/imported smoothly once I re-install 2.0 on the new 2012…
  • Good news! "@covecube: StableBit DrivePool 2.0.0.160 BETA: http://t.co/wF5wf1Dp (Server 2012 Essentials compatibility)" more details: http://forum.covecube.com/discussion/827/windows-server-essentials-2012#Item_12 "DrivePool 2.0 now supports Server …
  • Wow awesome thanks for the extra effort Alex. You are amazing as usual. Fun times ahead soon it seems. 2012 here we come!
  • Thanks for the update, I'll hold up testing until I read 2012 is "mostly" working..  I think most die hard server guys on here are all about 2012   I'm pretty stable on 2011 so I guess I should resist diving in, but knowing me I will the first sign…
  • "@covecube: DrivePool 2.0.0.154 BETA: http://t.co/wF5wf1Dp (Supports Windows Vista and newer)"

  • Nothing more other than he was actually working on coding it, as he replied to my other question. You could always install a VM of Windows Home Server 2011 inside your Windows 8 system for now maybe?
  • Alex is for sure working on the General Windows version of DrivePool.   I got a sneak peak screen shot of it in action a few days ago in the reply to another unrelated support ticket question. .  He has no ETA on the first beta release date, but I'm…
  • I have to agree, your prior OS shouldn't make a difference when it comes to importing a previously used drivepool on a fresh install.  I would give a greater than 90% confidence yes, that Alex will make it friendly as Shane said.  It's just a wild g…
  • I don't trust DriveSpaces either. I'm all about StableBit DrivePool for the long haul. While I'm happy on 2011 today I'd rather be on 2012 like everyone else here. I too was wondering if Windows Server Essentials 2012 is on the DrivePool road m…
  • I too was wondering if Windows Server Essentials 2012 is on the map for next year. I'll be happy with a stand alone app but would be happier with the full dashboard integration. The only two apps stopping me from upgrading from 2011 to 2012 is…
  • Glad I can help!  I know how infuriating/frustrating the problem is/was.  It used to really set me off, and cause stress with my roommates trying to watch a movie while i'm away, only to complain how unstable the computer is again and again and agai…
  • Excellent that's good enough for me for now. Your pre smart warnings have saved me in the past so I'll be able to rest easy with the SiL 3132
  • Here's a review on the MPX3132 http://homeservershow.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1009-mpx-3132-sata2-pci-express-mini-card-controller/ (you'll see my posts near the bottom) I just realized I could contact the same company they ordered it from.  Here…
  • I also just saw that Commell (maker of the MPX3132) also makes a similar mini pci express sata controller called the MPX-9115.   It seems it's faster with SATA III, but uses a different controllerhttp://www.commell.com.tw/product/Peripheral/PCI%20Ex…
  • For the HighPoint RR622 card (in non-RAID firmware/driver mode), I confirmed I'm NOT able to get SMART data via any 3rd party app including FlexRaid.  Bummer :-/ As I said, I'm going to try the MPX3132 eSata controller next/soon (it's on order from …

  • You'll probably receive your card before I get mine because of the 3 week lead time.  I edited my post, so not sure you caught my first part.  I'll re-post again: I have a 3 week lead time delay because they are making/sending a special eSata cable.…
  • I have a 3 week lead time delay because they are sending a special eSata cable.  I originally didn't realize all I had to do was buy the adapter I talked about in my previous posts.  (but it's too late to change my order) I only have a bunch of 2TB …
  • Cool, don't forget to order a SATA to eSATA Adapter as well.   I got the ESATAPLT2LPM from Amazon
