The price of this is a bargain at $500.

It cannot back up Apple computers, but you can tell OSX to save the backup to the WHS share.

You can add even more drives using the eSATA port and even USB (although drives added via USB would slow down file transfers).

Vista ењ†4 has been supported for months now.

2gb of ram increases speed tremendously.

I'll touch on a few I read really quickly: Lots of misinformation about the EX470 and WHS in general. This way you can transfer songs from a 'shared' library that it doesn't realize is shared.ДЄnd don't listen to the people that don't have one.

updates from the 32 bit machine, then you shoudl be able to find the 64 bit console software from your 64 bit client and proceed from there.ДЇYI, you can mount the share as a drive letter on your system and tell iTunes that this network share is your library location. You can access the unit from a 64 bit client, but you must do the initial setup of the machine on a 32 bit machine.You can use the WHS console and Remote Desktop as well. You can access the server via network only, as there are no video ports on the device.Many of them are community-developed, you can find them at WeGotServed among other communities. There are tons of plug-ins to add additional functionality.There is a new model coming out, but nobody knows when.Upgrading the RAM results in a significant performance boost.

WHS is NOT vista, and you can't say that a Vista basic install would give you the same functionality.

Replace the system drive with a larger drive if you plan to populate the unit with 1TB+ drives, as this will save you headaches down the road.

The retail price of this unit is $499, and it comes with a Seagate 500GB drive.

Guys, please listen to the people who actually own these things and use WHS. This is a real deal if you can get one in your 'hood.' I'm going to eventually build one myself, and it will cost more because I'm likely to use one of those 45w AMD dual cores as the processor, and terabyte hard drives instead. I priced one if I built it myself, and it's pretty darn close to $300. Networking after SP1 has been a breeze, and it will be a breeze on this unit for sure. I know there might be fancier or more streamlined ways to do this, but it sure works good for me. You can have the same setup with this WHS.

Most of my music shopping is actually done on a computer other than the server/HTPC, but because they are connected via gigabit, I can download and edit my music library straight up over the network. My digital music collection has been a disaster, with many duplicates, but I'm sorting through it, and iTunes works fine. It's taken a little work simply because I've only now started to truly organize my stuff. And since the files are all in one place and networked from a single location organization is a snap. I can also copy songs to my iPod from at least two of my computers on that account. Sometimes, it'll even find it just via normal folder monitoring, but I'm not that patient. If I buy a song on one computer, whether with Amazon or iTunes (iTunes very rare b/c of DRM), I can add it to the library on all my others very easily. And all four machines are authorized (you can authorize five) to play my account's music library (which only matters for the Apple DRM stuff). I also have two computers connected via the gigabit ethernet, and two more connected wirelessly.Д®very computer, including my one Macbook, can see and make changes to the Music folder. I have two HP printers connected to my gigabit and wireless N router.

On it I have the 'Music' folder and subfolders shared, and w/o password protection (made it easier to set up.) I have a password on my wireless network only. I have my HTP configured as my media server for my home as well. WD1tb+SG1.5tbW+Maxtor 120gb as long as they are SATA they'll plug right in and become part of the pool(JBOD style). You can use any number of drives of any size and type. Add ons add even more functionality and cutomization to your needs. The ardware is more than enough oor what it was designed for (its not a gaming rig).

#HP MEDIASMART SERVER EX470 ON WINDOWS 7 UPGRADE#

You can use 64 bit once you upgrade to PP1. The 2 gb of ram does help the processor upgrade doesn't help much. Here are some links for everyone to get good info on the WHS. Most of them are either untrue, uninformed or outdated. The size and form factor are great & It looks good.Дon't listen to the negatives. The HP software adds functionality beyond WHS. Just as a file and backup box this thing cannot be beat for the MSRP price.

Unless your using a 'real' server to share out applications, mail etc. I went from a big hulking 12 drive Raid 10 W2K server to this, and this is waaaay better. I've had one of these for over a year now.
