Guest asrequested Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 And should I just do a copy & paste could windows copy the drive for me? When the pool is created, windows sees it as a regular drive. So you just copy to it like any other drive. https://stablebit.com/drivepool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6780 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 For DrivePool, also read DriveBender. They are both very mature and do the same thing. I believe DriveBender is cheaper than DrivePool and has a longer trial period. The developers of DriveBender have a few exciting new releases coming out soon, especially DriveXtender. https://www.drivextender.com "Drive Xtender is compatible with Drive Bender, Cloud Xtender and StableBit’s DrivePool." So even @ might be interested 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 sounds very similar to Stable Bits Clouddrive from a quick read 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think I remember reading other new users finding stablebit easier to set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all4dom 73 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi guys. Just started adding the new hard drives. Queation....my 6tb shows only 5.45tb free space. Does that sound about right? I know x amount of space is reserved when setting up a new hard deive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naeonline 27 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Yes. Drive sizes are labeled from the manufacturers in base-10 (denoted by KB, MB, GB, TB... in 1000s) and Windows shows drive size in base-2 (denoted by KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB... in 1024s).6TB = 6,000,000,000,000 Bytes = 6,000,000,000 KB = 6,000,000 MB = 6,000 GB 6,000,000,000,000 Bytes / 1024 = 5,859,375,000 KiB / 1024 = 5,722,045 MiB / 1024 = 5,587 GiB / 1024 = 5.45 TiB The XB vs XiB naming is what throws most people off because traditionally computers Operating Systems have listed the XiB units as XB. Some OSes, such as MacOS now list the XB size as the actual XB size instead of the XiB size. RAM is like this as well. A system that reports 8GB of RAM actually has 8GiB of RAM.
