OK! So far I've bought the server & WHS 2011
I have read all of part 3 owners thread
I want to maximise the full potential of this piece of kit. I know I need the mod BIOS which I need to find the link for. I believe there may be an updated NIC driver as well that I need to find?
I was thinking about loading the OS on to an SSD. This one to be precise OCZ OCZ PTL1-25SAT3-64G Internal 2.5" SATA SSD - 64GB at cheap prices | Pcworld Cheap & cheerful hopefully. I will install it on the internal SATA port. I know you need to write a text file to install WHS 2011 on any HDD less than 160GB. Has anyone installed WHS 2011 + Text file from a bootable USB stick? and does it work.
I am going to buy 2 of these 4GB Memory Sticks Kingston 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM Memory: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories which according to the reviews will work in this server.
Don't have any HDD's yet. Just taking my time. Ultimately it will be used to store my BluRay's/DVD's (movie only) and BackUp My Desktop PC & Wifes Laptop. The PC/Laptop BackUp will then be copied to an External 2TB HDD
I am thinking of using My Movies to stream to a media player.
What are your opinions on FlexRaid & StableBit DrivePool?
Opinions/Ideas Welcome.
Thank You
