And just for those who love the installation screenshots, here they are:
USING THE SQA-5H-SAFE
For those of you who are interested in the server reinstallation sequence with the special USB key, check out the series 1 review here.
The series 2 SQA-5H comes pre-installed with Windows Home Server Power Pack 3 so there is no need for lengthy updates.
The SQA-5H-SAFE come with the AVA Media CD ripping engine, which has its own tabs and settings within the Windows Home Server Console.
Excellent review Andrew, Tranquil is tops in my book. They have a nice line of servers and are consistantly improving. The ultimate box is RS5 with SAFE

Good review. I just bought one of these and have high hopes. Initial thoughts:
+no need to leave my pc running for torrents etc
+works nicely with the Xtreamer that came with it
but
-can't get my laptop to backup to it (keeps telling me to try chkdsk)
-steelvine monitor just refuses to detect the server
-it has a fan! Not too loud but louder than nothing.
Hi Mario
What OS is your laptop running?
have you run chkdsk on your laptop?
I had a problem with Steelvine, turned out to be a firewall problem and ports needed to be opened (check the "manual" that came with it).
And yes, it has a fan – the bottom picture on page 1 shows the fan. It needs a fan to protect the disks.
