Per Char Jackson:
If that's what you're after, why not just use FlexRaid or SnapRaid? They
do the same thing.

I am currently using DriveBender. It got really flaky some months ago,
so I re-built the system and changed over to an enclosure with
backplanes and changed from multiple SATA cards to a single SAS card.

So far, so good.... And the ability to yank a drive, put it in another
machine, and have access to whatever files are on the drive has a
certain appeal to me..... but I'm on my guard now and evaluating various
alternatives if this build starts getting weird on me.

My ignorance is huge in this area. Stumbled on Storage Spaces when
trying to Google for alternatives....


Now that you have mentioned them, I need to look into FlexRaid and
SnapRaid. The appeal there would be the possibility that I could
implement one of them without rebuilding the existing Windows
7/purchasing Windows 8.

Assuming both will run under Windows-7, do you prefer one over the
other?
