Around 5 years ago I migrated WHSv1 to WHS2011 and Drivebender within a Norco 4020 case with a single SM AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 card with reverse (or is it forward?) breakout cable. I was running a mix of 1 and 2TB drives mostly, and a 640gb OS drive. I eventually got a 3TB drive and tried it on the...

Still safer than a spinner.

I need a checkbox to remove the cards from the deals, then I'd be left with the real sales. Currently there are 48 card deals out of the 100.

Not sure if I missed discussion of the cards, but I don't understand them and the Steam page that tries to explain them is complete crap. I play games, I don't play Steam. I am avoiding them. Seems like complete shit to me:

Will probably order a 5 this weekend, up from a 3GS that is almost unusable at times. I swear that Apple purposely downgrades the performance of older models by 5% each and every update.

Aw geez, I must already be on vacation. I was getting the client pc and user passwords mixed up. got it fixed.

I've got a house sitter coming in a few hours and I'd like to give them some access to my HTPC (I've limited access to a few things) on my WHS2011 setup. I want to change the password for user 'HTPC' to something temporary for them. I've been going into the Dashboard via RDP on another PC...

I have both, the 830 is a little faster.

I think it looks cool, at least on par with the iPad and maybe better. Steve Jobs was a pro at inserting the price knife with a slow twist while saying, "All this for only $1299!" We'll see how the price plays out here for MS.

Do you shake your desktop around? :D Many of the SSD's I've installed are just wedged in somewhere with no issues.

I'm using the Crashplan+ Family Unlimited plan, have about 600gb so far. They also has the option of them sending a 1tb drive to you to seed your backup, $125.

There's an automated fix from Microsoft as well, does the same thing. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976 Then enable AHCI in the BIOS. Some older mobo's don't have AHCI listed, then use the RAID setting even if you have no RAID set up.

Still high, some examples: Samsung 2tb Hitachi 3tb WD 1tb Black

WHS2011 does backups of 4 clients. Crashplan Family Unlimited plan (up to 10 computers, $120/yr., unlimited space) backs up all 5 to cloud.

I don't see anything.

In real world terms you won't notice much difference between the 510 and 520. The 510 has been out a year with no issues. Intel only came to market in the last month with the SF-2281 based 520, they spent a bunch of time validating it (the controller came out a year ago). Either is a winner...

I have to agree with Anand's 'Final Words' section, though I've felt that the VR should have have gone hybrid a couple of refreshes ago.

I have had a 510 in my personal system at home and a M4 in my work pc for about a year now (since they were each released), no issues with either of them. I'd have no problem at all buying a 520, M4, or Samsung 830 with my own money. I've done about 30 installs of SSDs now and have had no...

The oldest I'm using or managing: 2x Intel X18-M G1 2x Intel X25-M G2 But I've installed about 30 SSD's now, no issues with any of them ever.

I've been doing some cleaning out of stuff that I don't need to grab a little more space. I've un-duplicated some non-vital info in my WHS setup. It's modest, but I can coast this way easily until fall before I need more space.

Welcome! Would love to see some pics when it's complete, especially given that this is mini ITX.

Just snagged one.

I'm currently upgrading my WHS v1 to 2011, using Drivebender. I wanted larger than 2tb drive support, and I just got the motherboard in as an RMA. In my previous setup I had a Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 card, a Highpoint PCI card, and motherboard ports to connect drives to. With my new...

"I need more power!" <flushes>

Looks like the Vertex 4 offers Sandforce some competition. And since this is OCZ there's some room for improvement in future firmware updates too! Anandtech Tech Report Storage Review

At a certain point you'll find that you're going 'round and 'round about whether this SSD or that SSD will be 428% better versus 432% better than a spinning disc. Over the last 2 years I've installed about 20 SSD's with a mix of Intel, Sandforce, and Marvell. In the real world there's not much...

Literally "hours" to install? On a decent internet connection with an SSD I'd have a hard time believing that they could take more than 20-30 minutes including reboots if you were attentive at any prompts. You didn't get hung up on that stupid IE install where it puts the prompt window to...

40, and I still game 20+ hrs/wk. Pong, Atari 2600, C64, and things finally got serious in about 1993 when the office I was at got a PC for me. Played games after hours late into the night. Not ever been into consoles, but they can be fun for 2 hours per year at a friends house - but no more...

Or go fast. Or both!

480gb is [H]ard!

I'd try disconnecting all the data drives and just make sure it can boot into WHS. Once you can, then start adding in the data drives one at a time.

I know you weren't necessarily going there, but what about an off-site solution? http://www.crashplan.com/consumer/compare.html Two Unlimited or one Family Unlimited are within the budget.

Anandtech did an article a while back that may help a bit. http://www.anandtech.com/show/2668 (taken from my sig)

Anand actually recommends OCZ since they update their firmware more than others. I'm not all that convinced of that argument, but there it is.
