Liquesce–A Drive Pooling Solution

A drive pooling solution by the name of Liquesce has come to our attention.

Although its in the early stages of development, Liquesce (although not specifically for Windows Home Server) is defiantly one to watch:

The driving force behind the Liquesce code base is to take you hard drives that have Space / Directories and merge them into a single representation in an explorer view. This is very similar to the “Drive Extender” functionality in WHS, but without the need to format your drives 🙂

• The storage pool can use any type and size of hard drive, including SATA, IDE, ESATA, FIREWIRE, USB etc.
• If the drives have the same directory representation i.e. Movies on the root of both, then these will be merged into a single Movies directory within the view.
• Writing to this merged pool will have different strategies dependent on the setup, e.g. Folder / Balanced / Priority.
• Also there are advanced options which will allow similar modes to WHS Mirroring (_backup).
