True, it was in my desk at home though (still haven't got myself a suitable tool pouch/roll thing...)

However, I always feel a bit paranoid about my data![]()
What is the reasoning for raid0 neil?
Is it just so you have a drive big enough for a single huge folder of films etc? I know raid 0 is fast but as its all over a network does that matter? I'd also have thought the server will have to spin up all drives just to access a small amount of data which will use more power but may also take longer for initial access?
got mine today but not got anything about £100 cash back offer was it a link you recived or was it a form you have to fill in ???

What do you store at home that takes up this amount of space? photos? music? I have approx 190Gb of data and consider that alot!
How much does this lot cost to run in electricity? since having my CCTV DVR on full time for the last 6 months or so I can see a definite increase in the usage on EONs helpful online tracker stats. I dread to think how much more I would be paying if I were to run a NAS/Homeserver too.
We have used a qnap nas, it's the dogs dangly bits, very professional kit.
seems to be about the same as a sky HD+ box between standby and powered on (a lot of varying info on google but seems about right).
ClamAV is what I have at the moment, but Spybot will run as an anti spyware. Microsoft's Security Essentials will install and run on Server 2008R2 as well (even though it may say it doesn't!)
HP Microservers rock!
My server is only accessed by PC's on my network so I'm running it with no AV software. can't see how it would get infected but if it did it is all stuff that is backed up elsewhere anyway.
Hmmmmmm.. I'd say "it depends".If your pcs access the internet and then access your server they can pass on malware. Unless it's a totally isolated system, it's best to have some sort of AV at all points.
