The h340 has outlived my expectations. I've had it for almost 2 weeks now and I'm loving this thing. My only complaint is Ac ers tech support. I had an issue setting it up and I called their tech support where they basically told me in order to get help I had to call their Pay-for tech support line. I ended up telling the guy where he could stick his pay-for number and finding my own answers.
IMPORTANT: If you are having issues getting your computer to connect during the initial setup (or thereafter) either disconnect your internet connection from the router, or edit your hosts file to point
Works Great- easy to use!

This server is very handy. Map network drives to the shared files and keep all your valuable pictures in one area. Avoid wasting room with having duplicates on every computer in the house. I recommend purchasing 3 more 1TB hard drives and utilizing the all bays. Only down side is a slow processor. Still fast enough but wish it was faster.
Small, quiet, well-built - excellent value

I really wasn't prepared for just how small this Windows Home Server system is. I also never expected it to be as QUIET as it is, even with four disk drives installed. Setup was quick and easy for both Windows XP and Vista machines, including regular backups over the network. I've since moved my TwonkyVision music server to this unit and now all my MP3 files and DVD backups reside here. This unit is extremely well-built and makes it simple to install new drives with no problems.
What is RAID?
RAID is an acronym first defined back in 1987 to describe a redundant array of
inexpensive disks, a technology that allowed computer users to achieve high
levels of storage reliability from low-cost PC hard disk drives, via the
technique of arranging the devices into an array for fail-safe redundancy.
"RAID" is now used as an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that
can divide and replicate data among multiple hard disk drives. The different
schemes/architectures are named by the word RAID followed by a number, as in
RAID 0, RAID 1, etc. RAID's various designs involve two key elements: increased
data reliability or increased input/output performance. When multiple physical
disks are set up to use RAID technology, they are said to be in a RAID array.
This array distributes data across multiple disks, but the array is seen by the
computer user and operating system as one single disk. RAID can be set up to
serve several different purposes.
Organizing disks into a redundant array decreases the total usable storage
capacity. For instance, a 2-disk RAID 1 array loses half of the total capacity
that would have otherwise been available using both disks independently, and a
RAID 5 array with several disks loses the capacity of one whole disk. Other
types of RAID arrays are arranged so that they are faster to write to and read
from than a single disk.
There are various combinations of these
configurations giving different trade-offs and benefits of protection against
data loss, capacity, and speed. RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 are the most commonly
found, and cover most of the typical requirements.
RAID 0 (striped disks) distributes data
across several disks in a way that gives improved speed at any given instant. If
one disk fails, however, all of the data on the array will be lost, as there is
neither parity nor mirroring.
RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the
disks, making a 1:1 (1 to 1) ratio real-time backup. The contents of each disk
in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array.
RAID 3 uses a striped set with
dedicated parity or bit interleaved parity or byte level parity. This
mechanism provides fault tolerance similar to RAID 5. However, because the strip
across the disks is a lot smaller than a file system block, reads and writes to
the array perform like a single drive with a high linear write performance. If
one drive fails, the performance doesn't change.
RAID 5 (striped disks with parity)
combines three or more disks in a way that protects against data loss of any one
disk. The storage capacity of the array is reduced by the capacity of the one
disk (all disks are of equal size).
RAID 6 (striped disks with dual parity)
can recover from the loss of two disks.
RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and
mirroring. ("01" or "0+1" is sometimes distinguished from "10" or "1+0": a
striped set of mirrored subsets and a mirrored set of striped subsets are both
valid, but distinct, configurations.)
