The Acer Aspire Easystore H340 is designed to provide users a versatile platform for building a home server and Network Attached Storage (NAS). This compact box incorporates an extremely energy efficient Intel Atom 1.60GHz processor and 2GB of DDR2 memory. Windows Home Server and Windows XP/Vista operating system helps you easily store, access, share and protecting your digital files.
The Aspire Easystore H340 features 4 internal hard drive bays for easy storage expansion. It's already included a large 1TB SATA drive. If that isn't enough, there are 5 external USB 2.0 ports for external storage devices, printers and wireless networking. Or, if you want to go wired, there's a Gigabit Ethernet port. An e-SATA port is provided for high-speed external drives. This gives you redundancy or the ability to attach networked devices.
Enjoy the functionality home server system with Acer Aspire Easystore H340!
Pros: Included HDD was a Western Digital Caviar Green, a generally reliable drive. Technologically proficient users can quickly bypass the WHS console and treat the server as a standard Windows server file/print server if so desired.
Cons: HDD hot-swap enclosures seem a little flimsy. Some WHS bundled services, like automatic back up, begin enabled.
Other Thoughts: Earlier versions of the Easystore line shipped with an Acer supplied interface that, among other things, allowed for RAID configuration. This model now ships with Windows Home Server which uses Microsoft's Disk Extension software and should not be combined with a RAID according to common wisdom. NewEgg does not list RAID as a supported technology in the Specs, but I had found such claims on other retailers; the limited documentation on Acer's website did not clarify. But, so everyone knows: this product does not support RAID as configured upon delivery.

Solid WHS

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It comes with WHS PP1 and I installed PP2 on it. Very solid and stable. It have 1GbE and I also upgraded my router to an Apple Airport Extreme (1GbE + dual WiFi). With my wired 1GbE network with pre-existing Cat5+ wires, the drive is so fast that it just works like local drive, and *never* have network outage even copying files with GBs.
The extra bay is very important as you need extra drives for file mirroring, I bought the combo with 1TB WD Green drive, and the one inside is also 1TB WD Green but slightly different model number.
When I wake up in the morning, I don't feel WHS is laggy at all. It just works like anytime of day.
8" x 8" x 9" with built-in power adapter is really really small. Just slightly wider than a 6-bay.
The machine is quiet, although with big fan on side.
An extra PCIe 4x sounds handy if you need to add extra eSATA drives, although I didn't use it yet.
WHS comes with Custom Domain, you can register XXX.homeserver.com (with HTTPS cert) for free.
Cons: It comes with preinstalled anti-virus software (bloatware) and asks for activation. I jumps to Remote Desktop console and removed it in Add/Remove Programs.
Other Thoughts: I don't own any MacBook/iPhone, so Time Capsule and iPhone streaming is not important to me.
With PP2, I have WMP + Media Center + W7, all music/videos just appears like it was stored locally, although it don't support HomeGroup yet.
Some people may want to wait until new W2K8-based WHS, but I think as long as the machine works as advertised, why bother? You don't want to run lots of stuff with an Atom, won't you? Perhaps W2K8 is better performant, but it is not underperforming right now too. Anyway, when it's out, I will surely upgrade.
If you want to buy a NAS, buy WHS instead, it have more features than a normal NAS.
If you considered about RAID for data safety, get a WHS too, it have per-file mirroring and able to combine drives capacity to form one very big network share.
If WHS can't boot, just grab the drive out and put it into another computer, the files are all there without any magic, just copy out.
I recommend getting an additional harddisk when buying this

Pros: I'm an IT professional, so I expected I would need to RDP into the box, however, WHS is packed with a very easy to use console UI. The console gives the average home user just enough options and if you ever need to really tinker with the box the RDP service is default on
Cons: runs a bit hot, with 4 1.5 TB WD Green drives I get frequent heat critical reports
Other Thoughts: for the home market, this is a great easy to use tool to backup & share with up to 10 pc's, I've already restored a laptop that installing a HP wireless printer wiped all user data off of

Awesome little box!!
Reviewed By: dolphin80 on 2/1/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: I'm now able to back up all my movies and music to multiple drives and stream my media to multiple sources throughout my home. 3 additional bays allowed me to have a whopping 6TB of additional storage. You can also access this little box through the internet and stream your media to any internet connected PC. You can also host websites, photo sites, or set up guests with access to upload or download data. In addition, there is a myriad of add-ins out there to enhance the HOME server experience. You can also add USB hard drives to increase your storage capability and duplicate data to other drives for backup purposes.
Cons: Is running on somewhat older (Server 2003) technology, but it is very robust. Transfer speeds to and from the server can be a little slow....I haven't been able to get above 12mbps on a Gigabit network.
Other Thoughts: This box also backs up all your MS based home machines (laptops or desktops) on a nightly basis. I tested the restore process and its as simple as booting from a CD-ROM and following the steps.

Died after a month, Bad support
Reviewed By: AudioCra-Z on 1/29/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Small, low power consumption. Adding drives is a snap once you figure out the software. If you put all data on multiple drives, you can pull it out later, and find the hidden folder where the files are stored, and recover them on any vista/7 system.
Cons: System stopped working a little over a month. system lights came on, but none of the HDD lights. Attempted restore as per instructions, and system would still not work correctly. Called Acer tech support, spoke with one gentleman, who was nice, and after he realized all the steps I already took, he "elevated" my call to somebody who obviously hated his job, and already had it in his head that I did everything wrong before I even called. After repleating myself to him 2 times, he finally realized that I did everything right, as per the manual, and gave me a return code....
Other Thoughts: System died after a month, and acer has people who hate their jobs and express that through attitude to their customers. Last Acer anything I ever buy again. First time in a long time I had to call a company for help, and will be the last time it involves Acer.
