  • I have a question, if i have 4 TB in this server and i set it that it duplicate the files will it duplicate on every hard drive? Or can i set it so it only duplicate the files from disk A to disk B or how does it work? Can i set it so it only duplicate every file once so i only have 2 tb of storage from the 4 tb?

    Thx best review i found !!!

  • @LauwereysM The default setting is that there will be two copies of each thing on two different drives. It picks the drives on its own.

  • Can you steam videos remotely? For instance, let say i am at my friends house and we want to watch video from my WHS. So is it possible for the server to steam the movie instead of me downloading the video first on my friend's pc?

  • @822437 yes

  • @sciguy14 Question...Can i backup my external hard drive on to the hp media smart?...Can i turn off auto backup or at least backup only what i want to back up?....i dont want to back up anything from my PC...Just the contents that i have on my External Hard drives...Also can the hp mediasmart be connected directly t PC instead of through my router...And how can the maximum capacity be 9tb?...please explain the math on the terabyte capacity, would it be three 2tb and a 3tb?

  • How do I put cover art with my movies on the server? and can I stream movies from mediasmart server to my samsung tv that is connected to the same network

  • 9:18 pissed off Blum.

  • I have always hated HP.

    Horrible company in my opinion.

  • @nictycaram This is not a replacement for a router. It's a server with centralized storage for the computers on your network.

  • @Reqrezentin godaddy and 1and1 both offer cheap hosting plans
