@Trepidati0n: Don't really need any type of DE since FlexRAID does everything I need. It provides protection via it's different RAID engines and a single volume via the storage pool option.
What I was referring to earlier in regards to WHS 2011, is that I hope Brahim will have a dedicated version that can be controlled via the dashboard and also offer the storage pool as a NTFS type volume so that you can use WHS folders like Movies, Music or Recorded TV on the storage pool.
What I am after is the ability to combine drives into one large 'storage pool' and then use it in WHS 2011 and share it across my network as say the Movie folder. Basically use the WHS 2011 default folder structure but use a FlexRAID created storage pool as the underlying storage mechanism. In addition, FlexRAID provides data protection via the snapshot RAID feature. At the moment, I can't use the storage pool created volume and assign it to one of the WHS default folders (e.g. Movies). It would also be a cleaner and neater implementation if the control of FlexRAID would be via the WHS 2011 dashboard...
