Is anyone interested in writing up "semi-formal" reviews here on the forums? I say semi-formal because they don't have to be pro level, just a good attempt at telling the story about the gear. Something you have purchased lately.

You don't have to go buy stuff, just incorporate what you have already have purchased. Hit me up with any questions. You never know where it will lead!

Picked By Dave, March 6, Hold on because there is a lot of gear! Let's start with cameras. These are not just new, and good looking cams, they can now perform people detection and glass break detection.

The new cameras also feature expanded ways for customers to save video, including ONVIF Profile S, which enables custom storage and streaming options to personal NAS devices, built-in storage microSD capacity up to GB, as well as free and paid cloud storage options.

This year's camera models include both an indoor and an outdoor model. The outdoor model features a spotlight and siren that can be triggered when motion is detected, deterring potential intruders. The indoor model pans around to give a full degree view of any room and tracks motion. Both include two-way audio. One of my favorite products is Wi-Fi. There are so many new SKU's that I can't make heads or tails of them!

I'm going to be speaking with D-Link more this week and will sort all of these out. I do want you to see all they are offering and what the release date and projected retail pricing will be. Picked By Dave, January 6, I've pasted that clip on just about everything so you can wear it around town! Cable bags, Coffee Mugs, T-Shirts, and more. Below is a part of the order that I put in! The Heather Grey above is the Extra Soft version and it is awesome. I highly recommend the softness! The "Chili Red" is the Tri-Blend and probably my favorite feel and color.

In my podcast I couldn't remember what style it was but it is Sponge Fleece. Soft outside as well. The only problem is with the zip up hoody the logo is on the back. Regular hoody, it will be on the front.

Everything you purchase will help keep the lights on the hard drives spinning. Picked By Dave, December 31, Again, processors are not related to RAID. This are not related concepts.

This is like asking what processor supports email. Those answers will dictate what processor will work best. For a simple file and print server for a few users at home an I5 is likely fine. If you want a virtual test environment replicating a small business environment, it will be underpowered.

Virtual test environment for a person or two, backups, and to run along side another tower, and a location for local files to be stored from a 4 or 5 pc's.

Not a bad choice but might be more money than what is required, depending on your full use set. If you want a server then you're probably better off getting Server Essentials, or buying one with Foundation on it. If you don't need more than file storage then Scott's way is the way to go.

If part of the plan is to learn to use server operating systems and you want to go Windows instead of Linux but a copy of Server Standard Edition. You'll pay more but you'll be able to practice real business skills. If you must get to the desktop, use a remote desktop connection. Sign in. United States English. Ask a question. Quick access.

Thankfully, this is no longer the case in WHS ; server backups now include the OS files and server settings and they automatically take place twice daily—at Noon and 11PM, though you can customize both the frequency and timing of backups.

The biggest and most controversial change in WHS concerns how it utilizes storage space. Despite much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments by the WHS enthusiast community, Microsoft has seen fit to excise the much-loved Drive Extender DE storage replication and expansion feature from WHS The upshot of this is that managing storage in WHS now means dealing with drives individually and being cognizant of their capacity.

Whereas adding a new drive to WHS say, a 1TB unit simply increases the size of the storage pool by that amount, doing the same in WHS involves the creation of a new and distinct drive i.
