[QUOTE="Count Filipp, post: 309266, member: 22513"] In Windows Homes Server you don't have to worry about RAID. WHS combines all the disk space to a single pool and you can select which shares you want duplicated. Of course you need more than one physical drive in the server to be able to benefit from this. WHS is not supported by MediaPortal, because WHS lacks "some critical hotfixes". I'm using WHS for the tv server and I haven't had any issues, apart from a popup telling me this when starting the tv server configuration tool. I think it's a pity MediaPortal doesn't support WHS, it's a great combination! My server is on all the time and I've heard it's hard to get WHS into standby, because it continuously keeps balancing the data. So if standby is what you're after, you're probably better off with XP. [/QUOTE]
