Hi everyone,
Nearly finished building my second server, based on WHS2011, upgrade from WHS1 mainly because i could not get 3tb drives to work, and the chat about end of life.
Hardware is mostly complete, so now migrating data and doing the housekeeping that has been overlooked for the last couple of years.
Now is the time to sort out some of the folders and poor naming conventions.
The new server is housed in a Fractal R4 case - impressive looking bit of kit, and so easy to work on, loads of space, and very well built. So far, installed 1tb system drive (in the second 5.25 bay), and 3 x 3tb data. And have still got 5 bays free to fill up with more drives - this should keep me going for a while.
Thanks to all the various posts that have helped me niggly research - far too many to mention, but keep it up everyone - its a great source of assistance (and comfort that it's not just me getting it all wrong)
