One of these features was called Drive Extender. Its claim to fame was allowing users to pool their system's hard drives so they were seen by the operating system as one large hard drive. This obviated the need to keep track of free space across several disks, and it also allowed users to automatically mirror their data to multiple disks at once, keeping their files safe in the event of drive failure."
