Of course I’d use a GNU/Linux or *BSD and not WHS!

Get other commentators point about data integrity, however, this would probably make a great little file server for the home user. I think I’ll get one.

One drive is NOT perfectly fine. I do, howeverI do agree that an offsite backup is essential too. The only way it would be perfectly fine is you were constantly backing up to the offsite location, which I am sure you are not, unless for a small number of files to the cloud. I use duplication for mainly photos and important docs and email, its a great feature that is useless for single drives.

Come on, we all know the integrity is many times greater on a WHS with 2+ drives than 1 drive. What do you work for Tranquil?

The suggested solution, from Tranquil, is the use of the single HDD base unit, with either the use of an external USB HDD, or the Offsite Tranquil WHS backup solution ( http://tinyurl.com/n3pseh ) or both.

You dont have data intergity or safety with even 2 or 10 drives. The only way your data is safe is if you have an offsite sync or backup. So 1 drive is perfectly fine.

A single hard drive defeats half of the purpose of the Windows Home Server. Kiss your data integrity goodbye.

If you want a small system for use as a server or media center, none of these will beat the ASRock ION 330.
Dual core Atom with ION chipset.
