Hard Drive Racks

The PC news and review site “Computing on Demand” (C.O.D) have reviewed 2 pieces of hardware which may be useful to Windows Home Server users.

The first is a 4 bay hard drive module, which occupies three 5.25′ bays and allows you to mount up to four 3.5" hot swappable SATA hard drives.

The other is a rack which holds one 3.5" SATA hard drive and is designed for quick and easy installation of a HDD which occupies one 5.25 drive bay and comes with a security key-lock. An ideal rack for those who test a lot and need to add or remove a drive without the hassle.

WHS Disturbed our Daily Workflow

After searching for a server and centralized backup solution for his business, Christoph Buenger uninstalled Windows Home Server and instead installed Windows 2008 Datacenter.

Chris says that the reason for the uninstall was because there was a delay in accessing mapped shared folders and that Windows XP/Vista showed the incorrect drive size.

The full story is available here.
