@traindad77 Hi. I'm afraid I gave up and bought a new network drive from iNeo. It's been working fine for a few months now.

@bandersentv Did you ever get the Netcenter to have a steady light once you put a new drive in it? I have a 160gb netcenter and I called WD and inquired about installing a 1-2TB drive, they said it should work because the firmware will just see more capacity. Just wondering what you learned.

@THEtechknight Yep. Back when I bought these SC420s, Dell would let you buy a computer with no OS. That really keeps the cost down.

This copy of windows is not genuine. hahahahaaha

What I do for my server is to use an old 1.1GHz Athlon PC kitted out with just shy of 20TB of storage :-) Not one problem in about 6 months now and over an old 802.11G WLAN (on average) I get 3MBPs transfers. With Gigabit Ethernet I get just shy of 20MBPs. Cheap hardware = kick-ass network server!

@chompo7 True, but I need this stuff to make money to buy the old stuff ;-)

Hello, did you find the solution to the problem with the Western Digital Netcenter network drive.
I have exactly the same problem with a 500gb Western Digital Netcenter network drive (blinking blue light red)
Thank you for advice.

@viga1251 No, I ended up buying a new one. The hard drive died and a new one needs to have some odd format.

After watching this vid, I decided to get a Dell PowerEdge SC440 like you had in this vid. I got one on Ebay for 299$ with 4g ram, 500gb HD and a fast dual core Pentium. My Dell Demension 4600 is showing some age, but has been trouble free for seven+ years of hard use (only needed a HDD). I'd like to tie in four older confusers. It's built like a tank! I was going to get a Gateway that's about 600$+. The 440 came with Vista - I've used XP, debating keeping it Vista? Thanx for the 411 on server!

@umajunkcollector Nice score! Mine has been running 24/7 for about 5 years. Not a single problem :-)
I switch from XP to Vista a couple years ago. Overall I think it's alright just make sure you get all the service packs. They fix up a lot of the really annoying quirks.
