Im cant get my head around how RAID 5 works with its 'Parity' Blocks? Take this diagram for example... Say Disk 1 went down, you loose part of A, B, D and C's Parity Block... How would fitting a new drive rebuild A, B, C and D when C's Parity block has died? What is the Parity block? Nick

It's RAID in general I like just people have suggested so many different RAIDS and 10 popped up a couple of time I looked more at it. Turns out the booklet on my current motherboard in this computer has an explaination of RAID it explains 0, 1, 5 and 10. Nick

Ive been reading more and more on RAID and the more I read the more I like. So using RAID 10 (1 + 0) would work best? Or all personal opinion? Nick

We have sky :( With sucky speeds... I would kill for them speeds! We dont have cable in my street but... The next street over has cable :/ Go figure :'( Nick

I do like the look of that! Ill definitely put this forward for a backup solution. Thanks Nick

Cheers Spoonie, Will have a look :) As for the RAID 10 that sounds like a great piece of technology that could come in handy. Im assuming its an internal thing or can you get external standalone RAID things? Nick

Keep this list of suggestions coming as you were all these things I run away an google them they may come in handy in the future. Just a small question though why would you need 3 hdds for te OS would you install the OS on all 3 drives and set tem all up exactly the same? So if anything crashes...

If the wipers refuse to move like mine did you can use a mechanic ball joint separator It's like 3 fingers which grip round all sides of the wiper mount then a screw in the centre, as you tighten that screw onto the threaded bolt sticking up from the wiper mechanism the 3 fingers grip the...

Watch out... I may just do that :O x

Wow some good bit of banter in here now. Cheers for the extra info guys, when the shell of the office has been wired out and kit ordered I'm sure once I've set it up (plugged everything in basically) I will see certain things on SBS that relate to what it needs to do. From there it's a matter of...

Just thinking, So yeh im new at this but we all start somewhere... What are the likely hurdles I will fall at when setting up this network? What things would mainly go wrong for a novice what solution would you give? Im better with a pre warning now so I have at least some kind of idea when...

Do you know how hard it was for me to not laugh at that the misses is asleep next to me... shhhh!!!

Im sure ill master it at some point like I Say im a quick learner with computers (everything else... Just no lol) Starting to side towards that HP Mini machine now though, nice and compact. Nick

They make the magic happen!

Thank you for this, I wonder if I can get a trial of SBS and run it on a virtual machine to see what Wizards i will face get an insight into it. At the end of the day though its up to my mate who is going to be paying. One thing I like about Dell though... They allow a monthly payment scheme...

Bloody Double-Post...

Better specs and it's a HP server not built by him Nick (for some reason I don't trust dells over priced IMHO) that's taken from just there home desktop systems I prefer a custom built thing. Perosnal preference though lol roll on the flaming...

This guys cheaper and can supply a far superior machine double the power really Nick

LOL will keep that in mind, Im speaking with a Guy at a company called ServersDirect he can supply a server Hes just taking ages to respond on live chat -.-' Nick

Thanks Spoonie, He wouldnt know what half of them things are. Email is dealt through his website which I have setup and runs to Outlook. He wouldnt use remote services as when hes away from work... hes not going to work. Guess he just needs an internet connection for all the clients, but if...

To be honest Fatty... Ill probably end up going through with me doing it lol I cant see it being that complex setting it up and getting the systems talking with each other. Nick

I could... but has anyone used any in the past that are reputable? Nick

I dont think it would go back in. Its the center of your Airbag Squib. Try and push it back in? Nick

LOL The could possibly work what network companies are even out there? Nick

Thank you mate :) I will try my best lol at this rate im thinking getting a pro in is a good idea lol SO much to think about. Nick

Ahh right well Reading the server Specs that I have chosen it says RAID Connectivity - C1 4HD - No RAID with On-board SATA Controller, Requires 1-4 SATA HDDs Take it as this one doesnt have it. Nick

Hmmm lol Can someone point me towards one that is please? I dont know what im looking for. I may just even ditch RAID for now and put a TB external HDD on the network so the systems can access it Nick

Is it not an external RAID array? So it just holds HDD's easily swap in and out in case of corruption? Nick
