As title states. I'm looking for a drivebender replacement. I've been eyeing drivepool and it's probably what I'm going with but I'd like to know what else might be out there. This is for a JBoD setup. Backups happen to offsite location, so I'm not worried about backups.

Not at all a helpful comment to your question, but what's drive bender?

It's a drive pooling application for windows, lets you merge multiple drives into a single mount.

I know this isn't the answer you want but ditch windows. There's a million better ways to do it better on BSD or linux

I think my main thing to is, if something breaks my wife can figure it out even without me around. If I go to BSD or linux...well cards are off the table at that point.

That's fair enough. I just accepted that I'm always going to have to fix the computer issues no matter what. So I just make it easier on myself.
