I have a questiion about adding additional mass storage to my MSS Ex470 server. We all know this particular model has an eSata port. I know there are various companies that make eSata enclosures which you can use with this particular model. I was wondering why can't you buy another Ex470 model so you end up with 2 Ex470s connected to each other via eSata? What is the advantage with using SANS over another Ex470?
Ex470 (WHS installed)---------------------Ex470 (WHS NOT installed)
My purpose: I have a lot of movies, AVI and MP4 format, that I have downloaded and my storage space on the Ex470 is filling up fast along with music and other related stuff. Sure, I can upgrade the HDs to create more space but at some point, even that will reach the limit.
I was wondering why I can't take another Ex470 without installing WHS and connect it to my Ex470 wtih WHS.
What is the rest of the Mediasmart community doing to store movies?
