This weekend I got a new toy for home the HP MediaSmart Server which runs the Microsoft Home Server application. These new devices (Home Servers) are really taking off and l know why now. Just about anyone can get the benefits of sharing files and other items within minutues. The setup is very simple and is almost like a mini Network Appliance device.
So now I can share all of my videos, photos, and music throughout my house without problems. I even have my Microsoft Xbox 360 setup to connect to it. Plus even better yet I finally have an automated way to backup all those Autodesk Inventor files from my home PC. If you are looking for a storage device for home I highly recommend this solution over an external harddrive or a home NAS device. You can just plug in new drives to expand the storage.
Thought I would share this new toy with you for home use.
