Try doing this on a drive pulled from Drive Extender… You have absolutely no idea what data is on that drive, if any!

In a redundant RAID it is all completely automatic by design. Just pull the drive right out in the middle of copying or reading a file and the system keeps running perfectly. Then plug a new drive in and click rebuild and your done. But at this point, just replace a smaller hard drive with a bigger one.

Drive Extender was removed for a reason. It has data corruption issues, data-redundancy is not real-time, and performance is a fraction of the performance available through a hardware RAID. The DE problem I described was widespread. Look no further than any comments about logons to the console taking more than a couple of minutes, typically No one was willing to quantify it as an architectural problem with DE.

Moving to WHS meant I needed another machine, and some more storage space, but was well worth it at the time, mainly due to DE. Microsoft is leaving the door wide open. I will upgrade. I was more annoyed with how MS mishandled the DE decision than the decision itself. This upgrade will take some adjustments without DE.

But I believe it gives me more control in the long run. However, I am moving forward. Some of us work in IT. Some of us clearly could work in IT. I have to support folks who can barely do bullets in Word.

And they come back to me with gratitude. I use a quad core with 8 GB of ram. My drive system is a raid 5 with five 1TB drives. I do use a program that automatically backs up to an external drve immediately when changes are made.

So now I have off premise backups. My main purpose for it is a media server. This set up only uses watts of power and my main desktop uses watts. I look at it as a step backward from the first-generation product. I will be going DIY after I get all the goodie out of my and Not going to be using Win7 anytime soon as well. Microsoft can stuff WHS and Win7 up their cloud! I understand the WHS attitude but whats wrong with windows 7? I think its the best windows OS ever by far. I started with DOS and moved to windows 3.

From time to time, I used to call HP for tech support on various issues. I simply gave up on that. Language problems and buck passing are a waste of my time. And, in fact, it has been more than decent. It has been first-rate.

No need to mess with a working install, dont see a need for WHS I too have given up on upgrading. These are progressing nicely and some already offer many of the features I need. I purchased whs from amazon and successfully installed it on a blank drive on my hp ex I was able to backup my win 7 laptop with home premium. However my desktop win PC had problems.
