I use Linux rather than Windows. In my case I use mergerfs which I think is along the same line as DrivePool. I've had great success combining that with Snapraid. Snapraid is easy to use, just did my first disk replacement the other day. Took awhile as my parity drives are USB so limited i/o. But it worked out just fine. I highly recommend snapraid any time. As I understand it it's being put into the next Debian release so it will be around a long time, and open source as well so you can depend on it being around without worrying about licensing.
