Following my post<\/a> yesterday, and my excitement at the availability of the RTM software it was only a matter of time before I was disappointed…… Novatech<\/a> are now reporting that they are expecting stock on September 14th rather than yesterday \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

On the plus side, the wonderful guys at SVP<\/a> have got stock of their 500Gb PATA drives again (\u00c2\u00a352.30 + VAT) – so one was duly ordered first thing this morning and is en-route now. I suspect that it should arrive along with its’ SATA siblings tomorrow if all goes according to plan \ud83d\ude42  This will give me all the storage I need to rebuild my server… Just a USB2 PCI card to come. I’ll have 1 500Gb PATA drive internally, 2 500Gb SATA drives in external caddies attached via USB2.0 (hopefully), and still have 2 USB2.0 & 4 USB1.1 ports free for expansion – loadsa room!!<\/p>\n

I’ve managed to source a PCI USB2.0 card in the UK, but it’s also out of stock until ~18th September – so it looks like the big rebuild is gonna have to wait a while \ud83d\ude41 There’s also the small matter of no guarantee that it’s supported by WHS – it’s got Windows 2003 Server drivers – so I’m hoping that it’ll be OK… otherwise I may be in the market for a new chassis to house all the kit…. more expense I could do without….<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I have my CCNA exam a week on Monday – so the study has commenced \ud83d\ude42 and so far, so good….. subnetting actually seems to be making sense this time around – I’ve “understood” it before – well enough for MCSE at least – but I suspect that a better understanding is required for CCNA \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Enough waffle for one day – I’ll post my impressions of the new hardware once it arrives – especially the drive caddies…. I’m hoping they’re better than some of the previous ones I’ve had.<\/p>\n
