[QUOTE="NLS, post: 520165, member: 20102"] Bob I currently use unRAID for my storage. Uninstalling it in a few days (even though I use it for years and have paid for it)... I decided than an always-on machine should be able to do more than just serve/store files. You should go to WHS + FlexRAID. In fact this machine will do for you much more for you than expected. ;) Mine among other things (*), will ALSO have an analog TV card ("also" because my HTPC has 2 analog + 1 DVB+T + 1 DVB-S) and will stream it (either with another MP TV-Server, or just the very nice Orb). So my HTPC doesn't need to be an always-on machine even when something needs to be recorded (that is on analog). [COLOR="Wheat"](*) Other things that this machine will do: torrent client, backup my other systems, handle them based on UPS commands, mail aggregator (not mail server, I need a plain old Outlook, to collect everything in a PST), webcam based security, virtual machine host, server+client uptime manager etc.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
