If they're all on the same PC, you can just forget about the bottom half as RAID would use loads of space on them.

All of my PCs all have either 30GBs, 40GBs or 80GBs and they all connect to this Network storage drive, & i'm now messing around with the Windows Home Server thingy

i just have an 80gig with xp on and software and have a 160gig sata drive with all music and other things

What are you running on the server?

nanochickin · 06-05-07, 10:14 PM

Windows 2000 Advanced Server

It only just about copes with it to be honest

ops:

It used to be running Windows NT4 Server until i upgraded to the bigger drive. It had problems translating the size of the whole drive. I have considered using Linux for a while but to be honest i know where i am with NT/2000 server which is why i've never had the inclination to change it
