cskenney Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I started a new thread for you under the Home Server Show Podcast topic to post your ideas.

awraynor Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Since WHS has kind of lost it's way it would be great to hear even more about products like Synology, Drobo, the new WD products, Apple Time Machine (gasp) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Since WHS has kind of lost it's way it would be great to hear even more about products like Synology, Drobo, the new WD products, Apple Time Machine (gasp) etc. And especially how they work at high altitudes like, oh, I don't know, say Colorado, right??

jmwills Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 That seems to have been the bulk of the topics lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsox Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'm still running V1, with five 1.5TB drives (3 in drive pool, 2 as standalone drives for internal backup). It does what I need it to so why switch. I figured I'd skip one version and then upgrade but that appears to be out of the cards. I'd like to hear a discussion of how close you can get to core WHS functionality on a Synology and a Drobo as network devices (not as storage adjuncts to a server) and minimum additional software or hardware. And what gaps remain. As to "core WHS functionality" for me that means: Automatic PC backups that are single file or bare-metal restorable on need Single instance store for all content to help reduce storage needs Shared folders with account access control Personal folders with account access control Ability to access shared video by a Popcorn Hour Ability to run Crashplan for cloud backup I'd really like to hear this discussed at the Indy meet-up as I plan to attend (have already RSVP'd) Other Indy requests: See both a Synology and Drobo each with 4 or more drives. Hear a discussion / comparison of features between Synology and Drobo and much cheaper offerings like WD MyBook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awraynor Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I second @jsox. It would be great to see a synology and a drobo in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'll bring my Synology box to the meetup. I"ll also have the Drobo FS that Drobo is giving away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
