First this is storage related which is why I'm posting in this forum and not the OS forum.
Going to be build a new server to replace my WHS V1 soon. Mainly upgrading because I want to use drives larger than 1TB and they are all Advanced Format drives these days which WHSV1 does not support.
I was going to get WHS 2011, but found it does not support advanced format drives either. Well not with 4k sectors anyways AFD's with 512emulation will work.
So then I look to MSE 2012 but the price is quite high.
Basically my needs are:
Nightly Backups of all computers on the network,
Security Camera Software,
Drive Pooling (ability to easily expand the pool to larger sizes as needed).
Folder level Redundancy - min 2 drives.
Hyper-V sounds interesting but I have never used it. Might be useful for me though.
Machine will be Q9450 with 8GB ram and some sata expander cards.
