As we mentioned a few days back, DataCore is a firm that is bringing their virtualized storage technology to WHS2011 and SBS2011 as a replacement for Drive Extender. We recently caught up with them and have some details for you. Read on!
Over the weekend the guys from BYOB, including our very own Tim Daleo, did another live BYOB show. If you missed it you can download it and listen to it – as usual it is worth the time.

Read on to see the Seagate GoFlex 3TB drive performance.
Another potential Drive Extender replacement is on the scene from DataCore. They specialize in virtualized storage, including pooling and data protection.
The guys over at BYOB, including our very own Tim Daleo, have just released the BYOB podcast episode 32 – and there’s a lot of Window Home Server 2011 storage discussed.

Mirror, mirror on the drive. I need my data to stay alive. Windows Home Server 2011 has a built in Drive Mirror feature that will allow you to create a synchronized copy of the drive.
