storage
a metric ton of storage, literally.
Shown are all 3 generations of the HP MediaSmart EX-series servers - EX470, EX485 (2) and the latest EX495. The EX470 had a 2.6ghz AMD proc (which I upgraded here), the EX485s sport Intel Celeron 2.2ghz procs, and the EX495 sports a much more powerful Dual Core 2.5ghz proc.
There are 7 servers visible in this photo if you look closely. 6 are dedicated file servers serving up many terabytes of photos, videos, music, etc all over my home to various Media Centre Extenders (XBOX 360, PS3, Asus Nettop) or just laptops & computers in general.
With Windows 7 and libraries, I no longer need to map network shares - everything is easy to find all over my home. I love it.
