Re: Re: WHS Tips



WOW, 5TB of storage! I get funny looks when I say I have 3TB of
storage
(400ish DVD's) and thats spread over 3 computers! I really need to buy more
but the cheapest I've seen the WD 1TB drives is a whopping 174.99!

One drawback of the Mini-Itx board I am using is the lack of sata
connectors. I have a 2 port sata pci card in there but I would like to find
a 4 port one if anyone has any recommendations. I've found some on amazon
but theres not much detail on them which worries me.
