In light of corruption issues, has anyone else considered this?
I was just wondering if anyone else out there was so overly impressed with the HP EX47x hardware only to be disappointed with these corruption issues with Windows Home Server that they are unwilling to trust the OS, but can't bear to separate from the hardware.
I do not want to focus on a discussion about the ins and outs of this [hopefully] rare possibility of corruption, but rather on anyone's thoughts on tossing the Home Server OS and using a clean Server 2003 install.
Of course you would no longer have the Drive Extender and Folder Replication features, however, one or both of those are very possibly the source of the corruption issues. You also lose the cute console interface, which I really think is a step in the right direction for bringing manageability of data to the masses.
What you gain is a more reliable OS that only leaves you with the usual issues of data protection instead of worrying about the OS software itself destroying your data.
