Djinx WHS-A3 Home Server

Ah, the Belgians – home of great beer, great chocolates and Hercule Poirot – and now, courtesy of the Channel Tunnel, Belgian Home Server enthusiasts can now take advantage of Djinx’s strangely familiar new home server, the WHS-A3.

What’s that you say? Looks a bit like the Tranquil PC T2-WHS-A3? Hmm, yes I agree. Still, it’ll save the Belgians a huge shipping bill if they can buy direct from Djinx, and erm, the branding on the front panel is different too!

Specs are as follows:

Storage: 2 x 500Gb Western Digital GP Drives (1 Tb Total, 911Gb available)
RAM: 1Gb
Network: Gigabit
USB Ports: 4
Processor: 64-Bit Ready Intel Celeron 220
Dimensions: 356(d)x66(h)x387(w)

If you want the lowdown on this system, check out our review of the Tranquil PC unit we did back in December.

The WHS is now available to order at 849 euros.

    This is a BAD idea: 2×500 GB in a RAID 0 configuration…? In a server, RAID is made for RAID 1 (redundancy, reliability), not RAID 0…

    Hi Antonio – if you are not already aware, WHS devices don’t use RAID (in fact RAID is prohibited) – they use a new feature called ‘Duplication’ this is like RAID (mirroring), but is done on a folder by folder basis, rather than the whole drive. So you ‘duplicate’ only the files / folder that you want to – saving disk space.

    If you are still not sure how this works – let me know – and we can provide further information.

    Hi “d”.
    Thanks for the update. Just let get me this straight: you DO NOT configure RAID in an WHS PC…? So, it is the OS that does all the disk management…?
