如何在Windows Home Server中升级四个硬盘中的两个

I love my Windows Home Server, it's saved my *ss and my marriage. ;) I bought an HP MediaSmart Home Server from Amazon. You can get various sizes, from 500gig up to 1.5 TB.

我爱我的Windows Home Server ，它保存了我的* ss和我的婚姻。 ;)我从亚马逊购买了HP MediaSmart Home Server 。 您可以得到各种大小，从500g到1.5 TB。

I think the best deal is to get the smallest one you can afford, and upgrade it when you start running out of space. That's what I did. You really can't go wrong because it's like butter (yes, rich, creamy butter) to upgrade.

我认为最好的办法是获得您能负担的最小的，并在空间不足时升级它。 那就是我所做的。 您真的不会出错，因为就像要升级的黄油(是的，浓稠的，奶油的黄油)一样。

When I first started, I had the two 500gig drives it came with. The HP supports up to FOUR drives at a time internally. Because I can't stand the empty slots, I threw in whatever drives I had lying around. I ended up with a 70gig (I have no idea why I put that) and a 300gig as drives 2 and 4. This gave me a total of about 1.25TB. This was fine when i started, as I only used up like 50% of the capacity.

刚开始时，我有两个500gig驱动器。 HP内部一次最多支持四个驱动器。 因为我无法忍受空闲的插槽，所以我将任何闲置的驱动器都扔了进去。 我最终得到了70gig(我不知道为什么要这么做)和300gig作为驱动器2和4。这总共给了我约1.25TB的内存。 当我开始时这很好，因为我只用了50％的容量。

Fast forward a year or so later, and I'd only had less than 20% left. A lot of space was taken up by backing up 6 different Home PCs, and a lot of was taken up by Family Photos and Videos from my new HD Camcorder. It was time to upgrade.

快快过去一年左右，而我只剩下不到20％的了。 备份6台不同的家用PC占用了很多空间，而我的新高清摄像机上的家庭照片和视频占用了很多空间。 是时候升级了。

The system is always duplicating your files on as many disks as possible. It's not RAID, but it effectively gives you the same level of assurance that your data won't go missing. What's nice is that it supports drives of different sizes, rather than using either insisting on the same size driver, or using only the smallest drive size for all drives.

系统始终在尽可能多的磁盘上复制文件。 它不是RAID，但可以有效地确保您的数据不会丢失。 很好的是，它支持不同大小的驱动器，而不是坚持使用相同大小的驱动器，或者仅对所有驱动器使用最小的驱动器大小。

Here's how I upgraded my two smallest drives to new 1TB SATA Seagates.

这是我将两个最小的驱动器升级到新的1TB SATA Seagates的方法。

腾出尽可能多的空间 (Make as Much Room as Possible)

This isn't 100% necessary, but I noticed that a LOT of my space was taken up by backups going back as far as 3 months. I really only needed the most recent ones, so I went into the Home Server Console and clicked "Backup" then "Backup Cleanup." This happens on Sundays automatically, but it's a good way to make a little space before a hardware upgrade like mine.

这不是100％必要的，但是我注意到，备份多达3个月后，我的很多空间都被占用了。 我真的只需要最新的，所以我进入了Home Server控制台并单击“备份”，然后单击“备份清除”。 这会在周日自动发生，但这是在像我这样的硬件升级之前腾出空间的好方法。

This operation, as with most "large scale" operations, will take a while. Maybe 10 minutes, maybe an hour, it depends on how large your stuff is.

与大多数“大规模”操作一样，此操作将花费一些时间。 大概10分钟，也许一个小时，这取决于您的东西有多大。

警告您要卸下驱动器的主服务器 (Warn the Home Server you're Removing a Drive)

Now you need to warn the Home Server that you're removing a drive. This is important so the Home Server can make sure ALL your files are sufficiently duplicated on more than just 1 drive. You are removing one, and it needs to make sure each file is on at least 2 other driver, as I understand it. This can also take a while, although it didn't for me.

现在，您需要警告主服务器您要卸下驱动器。 这很重要，因此Home Server可以确保在不止1个驱动器上充分复制所有文件。 据我所知，您要删除一个文件，并且它需要确保每个文件至少在其他2个驱动程序上。 这也可能需要一段时间，尽管不是我想要的。

I right-clicked the drive, clicked Remove. It tells me not to turn the machine off, etc.

我右键单击驱动器，然后单击“删除”。 它告诉我不要关闭机器，等等。

When the drive is "remove" from the software, but not yet physically yanked out of the machine, it'll show up in the list as a "Non-Storage Hard Drive."

当从软件中“删除”驱动器，但尚未将其从计算机中物理取出时，该驱动器将在列表中显示为“非存储硬盘驱动器”。

Notice that my free space went from 1.2TB to 1.02TB, so I lost about 200gig in this removal process. Also, at this point, the lights on the front of my server are 1 pink (the removed drive) and 3 blue (the remaining healthy drives.)

请注意，我的可用空间从1.2TB变为1.02TB，因此在此删除过程中我损失了约200gig。 另外，这时，服务器正面的指示灯是1粉色(已卸下的驱动器)和3蓝色(剩余的正常驱动器)。

You can technically pull these drives out and put them in with the machine is running, but I'm still paranoid and I figure it never hurts to shutdown first (which I didn't do in this particular picture.)

从技术上讲，您可以将这些驱动器拉出并在机器运行时将其放入，但是我仍然很偏执，我认为先关闭它永远不会造成伤害(在这张特定图片中我没有这样做)。

交换驱动器机箱 (Swap the Drive Enclosures)

I like the enclosures on the HP because they are tool-less. They require no screwdriver, you just pull aside one edge and these little rivets (not screws) pop themselves via a tension spring into the screw-holes on the sides of the drives.

我喜欢HP上的机箱，因为它们无需工具。 它们不需要螺丝起子，只需将一侧边缘拉开，这些小铆钉(不是螺钉)就会通过拉力弹簧弹入驱动器侧面的螺Kong中。

I put the new 1TB drive in the old drive's enclosure, and slide it into the HP. Push it into the machine, turn it on (again, I've done this hot-swap before, but still) and run the Home Server Console:

我将新的1TB驱动器放入旧驱动器的机柜中，然后将其滑入HP。 将其推入计算机，将其打开(同样，我之前做过此热交换，但仍然如此)并运行Home Server Console：

The drive shows up as a Non-Storage drive, but I just click Add and I'm given the choice to add the drive to server storage OR to use it to Backup the Home Server and my files. (I use an external drive for Server Backup.)

该驱动器显示为“非存储”驱动器，但是我只需单击“添加”，即可选择将该驱动器添加到服务器存储中，或使用它来备份Home Server和我的文件。 (我将外部驱动器用于服务器备份。)

It'll run for a bit. After it's done, I tell the system to Remove the last small drive, and let it duplicate onto the larger one. Then I yanked the second small drive and repeat the process. Now Home Server reports I have 2.73TB total space, with 1.74TB free.

它会运行一段时间。 完成后，我告诉系统删除​​最后一个小驱动器，然后将其复制到较大的驱动器上。 然后，我拉出第二个小型驱动器并重复该过程。 现在，家庭服务器报告我的总空间为2.73TB，可用空间为1.74TB。

I like having the confidence that I can do this again at some point in the future with more cheap 1TB drives or larger. The whole operation took about an hour.

我喜欢有信心，将来可以在更便宜的1TB驱动器或更大的驱动器上再次执行此操作。 整个过程耗时约一个小时。
