It’s proprietary, after all. I understand paid is fine, but even then, it usually better be open source.

So, why is Unraid an exception ?

Thanks

    As an user that paid for windows home server, why windows home server 2(011) was a complete failure

    1. Updating to whs2 required a full wipe - unacceptable by everyone
    2. Updating to whs2 required to pay full price and not upgrade price - lol
    3. The system drive wasn’t covered by redundancy and you would lose all the settings if the drive died
    4. The data drives also couldn’t get any kind of redundancy as they REMOVED the feature from the server and moved it to clients! What the fuck? It was the main selling point! Easy raid for everyone. What’s the purpose of the “home server” if it couldn’t pool drives, while the clients with Windows 8 home instead could set a massive, redundant, pool of 10 drives???
    5. They removed the useful feature that backed up automatically all the windows computers in the network
    6. They removed the basic features like the media gallery and such, to see that you would need windows media center… but 6 years after they killed windows media center
