I just watched this video coz its 12Am and im bored.....

Can anyone explain to me what R those things??

[daveolso]

Those are old servers.. Check out the new videos.

WHS does have FTP/DNS/DHCP. I don't use DHCP or DNS on it. I only use the FTP which works just like any other server 2003 system. I use a sync program that sync's my music folder at home with a hard drive at work. Alot of people say that it's been cut down but I haven't noticed any difference. Maybe it's because it's OEM.. I have no idea..

Umm no it doesn't have FTP/DNS/DHCP. WHS is a cut down version of Win Server 2003 for home users. I got tired of mine lightly freezing to the point I had to restart. So I am rebuilding my Storage system with freenas. Freenas is much better then WHS in my opinion, but what ever.

Doesn't offer nightly backups with windows system. The media sharing sucks when streaming to xbox 360. Freenas is a good product just needs to have a little more work done..

Oh yeah.. iSCSI didn't work with ESXi either in the latest version of Freenas

do you work in the tech industry? bc you sure know what you're talking about :)

i look up to you lol

[daveolso]

Nope.. Just your average day user.. I like the idea of having all my data in one spot. Having it all nice an secure is a huge deal to me also. I had a 1T world book with all my data crash on me a few years ago. Since then I have been really strict on backup and even having offsite storage. I'll take a new video soon. I just upgraded all my server and computers..I should good to go for a few years now.. hehe.

Those 3.5" Drive Bay Adapters, Where did you get them?

[daveolso]

no firewire. Using standard Eithernet cable with a switch is the easiest. Try to go with gigabyte networking if possible. You can also team up two network ports if you have that option.

but is it possilbe to connect with firewire etc?
