Stumbling quite randomly on your site and dropping a quick comment on the lack of RAID. I do not share the same point of view : I don't like the RAID option as everything has to be duplicated on the WHS. Even if storage keeps on being more affordable, I love WHS approach : select the duplicate policy individually for each category of folder. Backup of home PC's are, of course, already a copy of what is on the PCs. No need to do a *third* one on the WHS. At the opposite, my family pictures are stored *only* on the WHS, and used remotely by all PCs. Thus, it is very important to do duplication only for those data. I also host a couple of tv shows and movies, for which I don't want to pay for duplication. That was my 2 cents ;-) Hi there.
