Thanks for the great review. I’d like to just mention that our Home Server can actually take an additional 3.5” internal SATA drive via the DVD bay. HumuHumu is happy to accommodate customers who want a solution with a very large storage capacity and we have updated our website to include the option of either a 2TB or 3TB additional HDD at time of purchase. If you want to fit your own HDD, you can purchase an optional bracket fitting kit as well.
We have also completely updated our website recently and I’d invite readers to take a moment to visit us to see the new layout.
Many thanks

Thanks Leonard – in order to add the additional hard drive you would need to remove the eSATA port, correct?
Andrew,
Thats right. You you would need to remove the eSATA port to free up the internal SATA socket.

I really don’t see the point in buying a server if it isn’t easy to add and remove harddrives, and it has room for more than one inside by default, preferably 4-5.
It just makes very little sense to me.
Not everyone will want, or need multiple internal hard drives in their server. There is always the eSATA option and the multiple USB option. Personally I would want more internal, but thats just me, and that isnt what everyone wants.
