johnwhagen Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 I've looked but can't find a way to display the TOTAL disk space in my pool. I have 6 drives in my pool and would like to know the aggregate size of the drives. I know it doesn't change but would still like the total size (used space + free space) displayed on the main screen. Yes, I can manually add up the numbers but the computer should work for me Thanks!

w3wilkes Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'm not at my system right now, but Drive Bender Manager or the WHS dashboard will give you the total pool size and free space along with the utilization of each individual drive in your pool.

johnwhagen Posted January 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 I have looked but still can't find it. Attached is a screen shot of my Pool information. Maybe you can tell me where it is at. I really appreciate the help! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimtnbkr Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Does the portion inside the red box not give you what you are after? Or am I missing something.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwhagen Posted January 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Well, not really. What I was looking for was an actual cumulative value. The info in the box, if I manually add it, does give me the value. Guess I am just trying to make the computer do the work. Pathetic, I know but that's what I was expecting. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimtnbkr Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Doesn't the WHS Dashboard do what you're after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w3wilkes Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Just look at the pool drive in Windows file manager, right click the drive and go to Properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwhagen Posted January 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Thanks kiwimtnbkr and w3wilkes. I don't have Windows Home Server installed (2007 was last release as far as I know. Yes, I can get the pool size using the drive properties in the Windows File Manager program. I guess the bottom line is I need to perform the effort to obtain the data (not that it will change very often) when I add or delete a drive to the pool. Consider this a closed post. Now I am off to see how well I can integrate VeraCrypt with my pool. Thanks again!! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
