Very nice add-in. I am using v 1.0.7.3 and it works well with the Power Pack 1 public beta. I have an external USB drive attached with which I am backing up my shared folders. The capacity is 74 GB and 13% is free. The drive is listed under the heading of “Attention Required.” When I right click, the “Repair” option is available. Clicking it opens a “Repair a Hard Drive” dialog box, but the entire box is blank. It can be closed by clicking the upper right-hand “X” button. Under the WHS “Server Storage” tab, the drive shows a “Yellow” LED icon in the status colume and “13% Free” is listed. The “Repair” option is NOT available. This is the only inconsistency that I have found as of yet.

Also, I have one comment on the cosmetics of the Drive Bays. My particular computer has one column of drives. The top 5 bays are 5.25″. The lower 5 bays are 3.5″. In my case the drive orientation is 90 degrees rotated (i.e) the drives are stacked one on top of the other, but sideways instead of front-facing. Of course this is cosmetic only, and using the normal horizontal designation works fine of course.

Thanks for your great add-in. I love it!
