He buys one, stuffs it in, clicks a button in the console and voila! He's done.WHS Disk Management = detailed disk info for more technical users who are curious.

So Microsoft told everyone how great it is to have all our disk drives labeled as one and yet now we see how at least some WHS users are wanting to see their pools of data as separated disk drives.
