Storage Management Rocks on WHS

As I blogged earlier, I've been beta testing the new Windows Home Server (WHS) product from Microsoft. The storage management features of this server just plain rock! As you can see in the figure, I currently configured about 758GB of storage, and one drive is available which will bring the storage level to over 1TB! Adding additional storage is as easy as plugging in a USB drive, and adding it to my drive array. You can click on a share being managed by WHS and enable duplication. Duplication is like having a mirror set, so if you lose a drive in the array you don't lose your data. All of this storage configuration is done on the fly and doesn't affect the access to the files.
