Abstract
Herein described is at least a method and a system of providing a graphical user interface which may be used in the management of one or more data storage drives or hard disk drives. In a representative embodiment, a method of modifying the size of a data pool comprises using a point and click device on a graphical user interface. In a representative embodiment, a system for resizing the storage capacity allocated for a data pool comprises a memory, software instructions resident in the memory, and a processor capable of executing the software instructions. A user interface, capable of resizing the storage capacity of the data pool, is generated when executing the software instructions.
