OK after poking around the site it seems that folks like both Drive Bender and StableBit DrivePool. I've played with the latter quite a bit, and am now going to rebuild my EX487 to give Drive Bender a test drive. Overall I've been quite happy with DP and I'd like to give DB a try.

However, I'd also like to hear what the rest of you have to say. Which do you use? Have you tried both? If you've tried both, which do you prefer, and why?

You may want to consider Flexraid, here is a link to the WHS Beta -

Can you please provide a more direct link? I'm not registered on this site, and it won't even let me in without registering. And I don't want to register just to read about it. If I was going to download and evaluate it, that's one thing. But just to do some initial reconnaissance work, I'd rather not.
