    Move from WHS2011/Drivebender to unRAID setup?

    Around 5 years ago I migrated WHSv1 to WHS2011 and Drivebender within a Norco 4020 case with a single SM AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 card with reverse (or is it forward?) breakout cable. I was running a mix of 1 and 2TB drives mostly, and a 640gb OS drive. I eventually got a 3TB drive and tried it on the...

    Steam 2013 summer sale is here!

    I need a checkbox to remove the cards from the deals, then I'd be left with the real sales. Currently there are 48 card deals out of the 100.

    Steam 2013 summer sale is here!

    Not sure if I missed discussion of the cards, but I don't understand them and the Steam page that tries to explain them is complete crap. I play games, I don't play Steam. I am avoiding them. Seems like complete shit to me:

    iPhone 5 & You: What Are You Doing?

    Will probably order a 5 this weekend, up from a 3GS that is almost unusable at times. I swear that Apple purposely downgrades the performance of older models by 5% each and every update.

    WHS2011 - change password for a user

    I've got a house sitter coming in a few hours and I'd like to give them some access to my HTPC (I've limited access to a few things) on my WHS2011 setup. I want to change the password for user 'HTPC' to something temporary for them. I've been going into the Dashboard via RDP on another PC...

    M4 or 830?

    I have both, the 830 is a little faster.

    Surface?

    I think it looks cool, at least on par with the iPad and maybe better. Steve Jobs was a pro at inserting the price knife with a slow twist while saying, "All this for only $1299!" We'll see how the price plays out here for MS.

    OCZ Vertex 4 256GB & enabling AHCI mode?

    There's an automated fix from Microsoft as well, does the same thing. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976 Then enable AHCI in the BIOS. Some older mobo's don't have AHCI listed, then use the RAID setting even if you have no RAID set up.

    Which method do you currently use as of now to backup data?

    WHS2011 does backups of 4 clients. Crashplan Family Unlimited plan (up to 10 computers, $120/yr., unlimited space) backs up all 5 to cloud.
