Hello,
I will be installing Windows Home server 2011 onto a desktop this weekend and I need a solid HDD for all the data, because my ssd is only enough for the OS. This server will be on 24/7 and I will be doing nightly backups of at least 3 laptops. I will also be doing media streaming to a ps3, running a print server, and using remote access (through internet). I have about $100 to spend and need at least 2 TB of storage. I can go up to $120 if it will make a BIG difference. I was wondering if there are any recommended drives for 24/7 server use other than the WD red drives I have been keeping an eye on lately ($110).
I will take any suggestions or advice, thank you.
