Hey Guys. I was updating my server from WHSv1 to Server 2012 Essentials, but decided it was way to complicated (especially the whole domain / workgroup issue). I then went to Windows 8, which was great until I found out Storage Spaces did not balance the pooled drives - Unless this is fixed, it will be Win8's Achilles heel!!!. I was then recommended by Drashna WHS11 with the StableBit DrivePool. I always gave WHS2011 a wide birth due to the fact Drive Extending was not built in, but this setup seems to be pretty good - even better than Drive Extender. I am now left without a working home server - just a bunch of disks with data on. Should I not bother with win8, and just go to WHS11? Is there a trial version I can download before buying, like with whsv1?? Thanks in advance. Nick.. ps. return is not working, that's the reason there are no paragraphs :-)
