Deck's Reloaded is a pretty good AOSP ROM with full functionality.

AnyDVD HD > rip to iso with speedmenu enabled, save directly to media server. Simple and elegant. 30 - 60 mins depending on the size of the BD. Playback works with any software player or Popcorn Hour, etc.

You can bend the cables as much as you need to make them fit. It won't hurt the cables.

18" / 0.5m

There are 2 pass through holes on the left side for the molex connectors and pass through holes in middle between the far right and middle fan. The new sas backplanes have the mini sas connectors in the middle of the backplane.

It appears Norco is offering a 120mm fan partition for all of their new 4U cases: 120mm fan wall bracket for RPC-4224, RPC-4220, RPC-4116, RPC-4020

No, WHS won't do that. You'll have to use a program like Drive Balancer to move the data from the full drives to the new drives. Copy some files from another computer to the WHS. The new files should land on the new empty drives.

It's pretty easy to do. Just plug an external esata drive into the esata port on the 8300 and follow the on screen prompts to format the drive. The new drive will be added to the available storage space. Keep in mind that the drive will not be readable on anything except for the particular 8300...

Yes and Yes.

July 8, 2010. The 120mm fan boards are out of stock now. I will update this thread if and when they're available again.

In WHS v1, the OS drive is partitioned during installation with a 20GB C: partition for the OS and a D: partition for the storage pool. The D: partition will be the size of whatever space is left over after the 20GB OS partition. However, with v1 & PP3, no data will be placed on the D: partition...

No! That is very old information. All of my WHS installations are installed to the smallest supported HDD as I don't want any storage pool data on my WHS OS drive.

Yes, but I don't remember exactly what changes I made except to disable INT13 since the boot drive in my WHS is connected to a mobo sata port.

I don't know. Mine were purchased and replaced earlier this year (February - March). I actually have 4 of these in my WHS now and I'm about to add 2 more. They run very quiet and about 5 - 7 deg. F cooler than the WD Green or Seagate LP drives.

I had this exact same problem with two of the 2TB Samsung F3EG drives. I spoke with Samsung about the problem and they RMA'd and replaced the drives. I've not had the problem with the replacement drives.
