Expandable Storage to Meet Changing Needs

The 2 TB hard drive and three hot-swappable hard drive bays available for storage expansion provide enough room for filing, storing and backing-up a vast library of songs, videos, photos, games and documents--up to 500,000 digital photos, 300,000 MP3 files and 4,285 hours of movies (based on 3 MB per photo, 5 MB per MP3 file and 350 MB per hour playing time).

The hot swappable HDD cage enables you to increase your data storage by adding up to three 3.5-inch internal hard drives, which means it offers up to about 8 TB of total data storage. The cage is outfitted with release levers for each drive to keep them secure. In addition, a recovery/reset pinhole provides additional data protection by enabling system restores and data recoveries with just one-touch.

The Acer EasyStore includes three hot-swappable hard drive bays with simple, easy access to the drives (also see a view of the rear of the server).

24/7 Global Access with Microsoft Windows Home Server

The Microsoft Windows Home Server operating system centralizes digital media in one location, making it easy to access files, photos, videos and music from any PC on your network. It also protects critical data by creating an image-based backup of every home computer every day, so you can restore a single file or an entire PC. With Windows Home Server, users can access the home network from the office or the road, for full access to their files and applications, just as if they were sitting in front of their home PC.

For example, parents can access their children's homework while traveling for business. They can also upload videos and photos from sports events or summer vacations to the server, even while away from home. At any time, from anywhere, every family member with a PC in the home network can access photos, videos, music and other documents from the home server.

This centralization of digital data saves significant time by eliminating the need to transfer data from one PC to another, every time someone wants a photo, video or other document that's stored on another PC. It's also a safeguard. If a netbook or notebook is damaged, lost or stolen, users don't lose their data along with it, since it's backed up at home. In addition, when a new system is added to the network, it's quick and easy to upload data from the computer to the server.
