The nice thing about using VPC/VMware for this is that you can simulate adding new drives without having to buy additional physical hard disks. It'll be a nice way to test the automatic data replication features.

**LordOfLA** · February 17th, 2007

I need more/bigger physical disks anyway. almost out of 700GB storage but I don't have the finances at the moment to go building a 4TB home server just yet

**dreamliner77** · February 17th, 2007

I'm in.

**Khayman** · February 17th, 2007

**LordOfLA** · February 17th, 2007
