Preparing for WHS2011Īs I intend to move my existing WHSv1 into a VM I thought it was an idea to migrate my data from the internal drives to an external storage unit.
Of course it is a lot lighter and though not really needed for an SSD there are some vents in place to help keep any unit inside cool. On inspection against a 3.5” drive the Kingston Caddy is identical in terms of fittings and shape. The SSD easily dropped into it’s new home and after gently closing and sliding back the caddy lid we now have SSD power in a comfortable form factor for the EX490. When open you can then clearly see where the drive should be seated. There are two finger grips on the top of the unit and these are used to slid the top of the caddy away from it’s body allow the top of the unit to hinge up. Though the caddy is made of plastic it’s tough and well built. Any 2.5” SSD should fit absolutely fine, if you have a shorter than normal drive (I’m not aware of any) then you might have to make up the length with some material as the lever butts up against the short side of the drive. The unit is designed to house a regular 2.5” Hard Disk Drive (it doesn’t matter if it’s the traditional spinning Winchester unit or a more up to date SSD) and the C300 fits perfectly within it. Kingston make great quality products and this one is no exception.

It was time to replace the system disk in the EX490 with an SSD and install WHS2011 on the way. I’m lucky in that in the past I’ve found a Q8400S and 4GB for relatively low costs and recently I acquired a Crucial C300 256GB SSD and a Kingston Storage Bay Adapter (SNA-DC/35) My major concern was still being able to have a responsive server along the way.

I’ve been thinking of upgrading to Windows Home Server 2011 for a while and I wanted to run my old WHSv1 in a VM to keep some of my old backups accessible. It’s the hub of my digital archives, the brain in the distributed backup solution and with VMware it’s my own little cloud. It takes care of all essentials activities such as media sharing and backup. In testing we found the latency from taking a photo on the iPhone to be able to retrieve it from the remote access website to be well under a minute.įor a good year and half now my EX490 has served me well as the only server in my household. That’s it! A very straight-forward way to sync all your photos from mobile Apple devices to your Windows Home Server. Do note that if you set this folder to a location where you will save photos on your network then you will potentially fill up your iCloud quota quite quickly: I decided to make a new sub-folder in my Pictures share and left the Upload folder at default as I don’t plan to upload photos from the server to iCloud.

Select the “Options…” button and then change the Download Folder to a Shared Folder on your Windows Home Server. I don’t have Outlook installed nor do I want to sync my Bookmarks with Internet Explorer: From here I only selected to enable the Photo Stream option. Once you have completed the sign in/up process you’ll see the main control panel.

You will be prompted to enter in your Apple ID and password and if you don’t have an iCloud account there will be some words to agree to as is the norm these days. Don’t install iCloud unless you can reboot right away or live without the control panel until your server is rebooted.Īfter you have rebooted you can go to the Windows control panel and find the new iCloud control panel applet: Install the application as normal but due to the fact it registers a new component with the Windows control panel you will need to reboot before you can access the system control panel. Simply logon to your Windows Home Server via RDP and go to and download the iCloud Control Panel for Windows. Though Apple don’t list Windows Server 2008 R2 or WHS2011 as a compatible product I’ve installed iCloud without any issues on my Windows Home Server and it’s been happily downloading photos sent by an iPhone 4 over the past week. This is just a quick post to say that iCloud works fine on Windows Home Server 2011.
