    Hello Mahmoud Maarek,

    You will need to open a support case so that we can see why you are not able to create another pool.

    Hello Mahmoud Maarek,

    Are the 15 drives that are in the system SSD or Triditional HDD?

    Hello Mahmoud Maarek,

    Since you have SSD as your new drives you will need to create a new pool.  What raid type were you wanting the new pool to be?

    Hello Mahmoud Maarek,

    You should be able to create a second traditional pool as you have the required amount of drives for a raid5.
