I've been lurking and reading re: WHS and I finally pulled the trigger. I've ordered a norco 4220 case plus few 2 TB HD's and will be using old spare parts (mobo, 1 TB HD's, etc) to build the system (AMD X2 555 and Asus mobo). I didn't order any sata controllers since I'll be using mobo sata ports (6 total). Eventually I'll fill up the norco case with 2 TB's as funds are available.
My question is:
1. After using the IDE dvd-rom to install WHS, I can unplug it (remove it from the system) and reboot?
2. Once WHS is installed and running, I can install the AOC-SASLP-MV8 controllers without any problems down the line when I'm ready to install more HD's?
Thanx in advance. JB
1. actually, you can install WHS from a USB drive, and enable AHCI at that. this is what I did, slipstreamed AHCI drivers and created a USB installer.
