    Hmmm interesting. Just added this plugin and it my disk usage is 3%, 975, 98%, 95% and 42% !!! I thought balancing shared the load????

    Hi Everton. Drive Extender “balancing” is not really balancing data load across all disks. Balancing refers to the process of moving stuff off the landing zone (the D:\ partition) and on to your secondary disks, as well checking that Duplication is taken care of.

    Have a look at the Drive Extender whitepaper: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/F/C/2FC09C20-587F-4F16-AA33-C6C4C75FB3DD/Windows_Home_Server_Drive_Extender.pdf

    Thanks – that was quite a useful doc to read to understand how the discs work better.
