WHS looks really cool. It also gives me something to do with all the parts I'll have left over after my next upgrade!

Would 2k3 x64 drivers work on 2k8?

I have Vista x64 running now, so fingers crossed.

BorderPatrol posted:If you really want to use the externals you can set them up as backup drives to the WHS pool, and backup selected files when plugged in. They won't be duplicated at all times (meaning if one of your drives goes out you're SOL), but you'd be able to have backups stored on the externals. But you'd basically have none of the main benefits from WHS and might as well run Windows 2000.

JnnyThndrs posted:You can use an external drive(eSATA or USB) as either a pooled drive or a "normal" external drive, used for backups and such. It's generally not wise to use external drives as pooled drives, though, because if one gets unplugged, it throws the whole drive pool into massive chaos, WHS thinks a drive failed. USB is particularly bad for this. Man I am just going to be piling TB drives into this thing when I build my new gaming machine. Maybe I can get away without a secondary storage drive in my main machine!

Do I want a small drive for the OS / secondary programs or does WHS figure that out automatically? My current board has Win7 x64 drivers so I'm hoping I can re-use it for WHS Vail. Shumagorath fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Apr 25, 2010 |
