I post this not to poke at the always-fun-to-make-fun-of Microsoft, but to highlight the realities of software development.  Even a company like MS with its many technical resources and a high degree of corporate focus in this area can have significant problems with their solutions.

 

We should all keep this in mind when we have the next (inevitable) issue with UnRaid.  Feel free to reference this post when we get a hater in our midst.

I've been running a WHS box alongside my Unraid server for about a month now.  For storage and redundancy, Unraid is head and shoulders above WHS.  The best feature of WHS is the backup feature - that was worth the cost of the software alone.  I also use it to host the My Movies database, since the newer versions require MS SQL server.

 

I'm glad you posted this article though - after Christmas I was thinking about moving all of our digital photos to the WHS box so we can give family members remote access to view our pictures.  I think I'll hold off on that until they fix the data corruption issue, though.
