Windows Home Server now available!

Today the Home Server team announced HP's Windows Home Server is available for pre-order (Amazon, CompUSA) and will be shipping before the holidays. I stopped by Charlie Kindel's office to get a look at the HP and talk about Home Server. You can get a feel for just how small the HP Home Server is and some of the nice features it includes like screwless drive replacement.

You can get a glimpse of the "hockey puck" Home Server prototype and see the Home Server Charlie built himself, which uses a 5-drive chasis that fits into 3 x 5.25" bay slots - here is where to find one of those.

I'll try to find out, in the meantime there is a really nice Home Server available in the UK.

Cool, thanks!

I like the tranquils, but nothing so far looks as nice as the MediaSmart, so I'm really holding out for that one. I suppose it wouldn't be possible to order from the US?

I guess my biggest question is about the drive setup, what if I have 4 250's or 4 500's, does it work like raid were I can loose one drive, this is great for backing up PC, but how can one back this unit up?
