Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

What happends if I remove one hdd with content from the storage spaces - two-way-mirror? Will all files be available/accessible directly from another computer on WIndows 8?
So, what do you suggest?
I have Dell T20 server (Stablebit DrivePool and Scanner on the Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials) as NAS for my photos.
All the photos from this machine are also backuped to the cloud.
Thank you for your help.
I still have some questions. How SnapRaid works together with DrivePool?
The DrivePool locate the files on two drives simultaneously and the SnapRaid makes the parity for eventual repair of files?
What should be installed first?
