Oh man, now you're no longer a trend setter! ;)

If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you.

I like this build.
Does anyone have any nfo on the drives used.
Is WHS 2011 installed on a SSD?

Glad you liked it - had fun building it and no issues whatsoever.

The OS is on a pair of 2.5" 500GB drives in a hardware RAID1 enclosure.

The RAID1 critical data array was just a pair of WD 500GB blue drives I had laying around - contemplating going towards 2x500GB (or larger) 2.5" drives to free up a bay.

The RAID5 media array is 3x WD 2TB green drives.

Have not made the SSD plunge yet - a project for another day...
