boy...it does sound as if they reduced the functionality of whs
significantly. Is there a logic to this?

No drive extender. No folder replication. You can't add to a drive pool.
Let me give an example:
My whs started with 3tb. It has since grown to 14tb. I simply add a drive,
and whs says 'add drive' and that's it. I have folder duplication on for the
things I want toi have duplicated, not for not
In whs 2011, there is no drive pool. So each drive added must be its own share
as a drive letter. Folder duplication doesn't exist, so if you want to get
that, you have to setup raid, if you setup a raid, it means you have full
duplication of sorts, but want to add more space to your whs? Good luck
The concept of 32/64 for what is essentially a nas is silly. I don't care
about the core os. Just provide network shares and easy ability to expand. MS
has just killed the best part of whs and replaced it with nothing. Others
will try to add it back in (see wegotserved.com) but until someone gets it
tested and proofed, I will stockpile whs v1 copies.

Subject: [H] WHS vs WHS'11
What are the reasons that WHS'11 sucks compared to WHS? WHS seems
rather dated, at least in terms of its "XP" looks and 32bitness. Would
it not be better to have a 64 bit server (though, I can't personally
think of a a reason why...just asking :) )?
The real reason I'm asking is I want to put an ASUS usb3.0 / Sata 6 card
in my server PC (it has a cheapie Gigabyte mobo) so that I can attach a
usb 3.0 4-bay HD box to the server for backups. Data transfer would be
over the network but stored on an external usb 3.0 4-bay HDD box. I'm
concerned that the drivers may not work in WHS. I know they work under
Win7 (also not sure about WHS'11 but I'm assuming that since it is newer
it will accept whatever Win7 likes????) . Obviously, I'm a bit confused
with that.
