I did say "might". Won't belabor the point, but as long as all the stuff is easily and quickly accessible and well-indexed or easily searchable, I'd say that qualifies as 'efficient'. My collection, while certainly not as large as that of EFA11 for example, has certainly grown over time as bigger drives became available at ever cheaper prices. Anyway, let's get back to discussing 1607...
yepp mine is called Storage_Server_Essentials_2008_R2_EMB_English_Install.iso SHA is the same anyway. Afaik there isn't an official ISO installation in the wild (or there isn't at all), just oem restore disks
I'm sure it does, but i) I'm not using dedup yet, and ii) there's only so much it can do before you have to buy a larger drive anyway.
just an FYI, WD 4TB external usb3's at Bestbuy for 129$ (8TB for 229$). If I recall the 4TB had "Greens" in them, not sure whats in them now. Another FYI, if anyone wants to remove the drive from the enclosure and put it in a system, you can.. BUT make sure you remove your data first (this is well know to many). Once you open that and remove the hdd from the enclosure and its circuit board, nothing is readable on it, time to format. Boing! I dont know if there is a work around for that, but the drives perform a whole lot better connected to sata vs usb3 (duh! lol).
I bet It's 7GB or so. Looks like the command Code: Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase is unknown to Thecus guys
Waiting for the 8TBs to go down in price a bit more before I snag them. And yeah, back when the Thailand floods occurred and internal drives were in short supply, I bought lots of externals and stripped them of their enclosures. Fun times!
Argh, another new thing on RS1. I used to do "bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes" on my BIOS/MBR installs with a 0s timer on th2, so F8 could be called at boot for safe mode, advanced startup, etc. Now it only seems to be able to use the boot menu if a timer is set, and F8 doesn't open it anymore.
