Putting together a file server and was thinking about WHS 2011 but kind of wanted the ability to use drive extender... Does 2008 R2 have the file serving capabilities while retaining drive extender?
 
thanks for the quick confirmation. think i'll play around with some of the ZFS options as well then.
 
the day will come that we'll have drop-in non-striping drive pooling with n+1 parity on windows, its just taking forever for that day to come.
 
I think you can do disk-spanning with dynamic disks. I can't remember the exact term, but it's a feature of Win Server. There are some articles on TechNet about it. Drive pooling, or something.

It's probably pretty similar to DE, but not exactly the same.
