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.

    It does but it’s not great from what I’ve read for jbod setups. Drivebender has been awesome for over a decade for me. It balances everything and even lets me keep local backups, so if one drive dies it’s got a copy on another drive.

      Do you want JBOD or a RAID? Cause dealing with disk failure is a feature of RAID

        I don’t really need speed. RAID is for people who like to spend money on same size/speed drives

          Most RAID levels are for redundancy, not speed and software RAID doesn’t need drives of the same size.

            The RAID I’m talking about requires same size and speed of drives to be optimal. Otherwise it goes with the smallest and slowest drive in the array.

            You talking about unraid?
