StableBit DrivePool for the Windows Home Server 2011
This add-in will let you add multiple hard drives into one combined storage pool on the Windows Home Server. You can create folder shares on this storage pool, and each folder on the pool can either be duplicated or not duplicated. Files placed in duplicated folders will be protected against single drive failure by being placed onto two separate hard drives.
Features:
- Combine all your hard drives into one big storage pool (except the system drive with the OS).
- Add and remove drives from the pool at any time without re-partitioning or manually moving folders.
- Create duplicated folders on the storage drive pool that are protected against single drive failure. If a drive fails on which a duplicated file was stored, the contents of that file will remain readable even without the drive.

The features list and screenshots are based on the current working ALPHA, so you can understand that there are some things still missing and subject to change.
This is the first announcement that we’re making, there will be a fully functional Technical Preview version available in the coming weeks.
