I don't have my new storage computer parts available yet to experiment with WHS 2011, but on a spare computer I tried WHSv1 with a couple of ancient 200gb drives to see what the ruckus was about and I'm duly impressed with how easy it was to administer and how the drive pool works. Seeing how WHS 2011 doesn't have drive pooler anymore, is there any compelling reasons to use it? I haven't tried it yet because my old spare I had lying around only have 1gb RAM. WHS 2011 won't install unless you have 2gb.
64-bit isn't a big deal to me since the new computer will be 4GB and use AMD's Fusion APU, so RAM will be shared with video, so I'll have less than 4GB of system memory anyways. What does WHS 2011 have that WHSv1 doesn't have?
This will only be a media storage server for all of the HTPCs in the house.
