Will Windows Home Server 2011 run on this?

List of supported OS's from their website: Windows Server 2012, 2008 / Windows 8, 7, Vista / Linux Distributions / FreeBSD So if your Home server version is later than Win Vista, you should be fine.

Yes, I am running Windows Home Server 2011 (which is actually 2008 r2 if you go deep enough into the specs) on a Dell PowerEdge Server. The rocketraid is Configured as a storage RAID 5 with 4 "Red" WD HDD's, inconjuction with an operating system Raid using SSD's with the onboard OEM raid config from the Manufacturer. Its been running this last year now without any problems.

RcoketRaid runs on Home Server. It will work as long as there are drivers available for Home Server

I used it with WHS 2011 (now using 2012 Server) successfully by using software driven JBOD, specifically Stablebit. The hard drives on the controller are available just like, and in addition to, those connected to the motherboard SATA connections. I have also used this in a hardware driven RAID 5 array as a separate backup to Highpoint 2720 controller using software JBOD. Too complicated, but it did work.

I installed in a server2012R2 box but it was running on a desktop system and worked without problems..

should run with relative ease. the four cores includes hyperthreading but it should still be plenty enough cpu power

It would not be worth it. You would have to add a video card and a sound card memory and change the processor, it also doesnot come with software. It makes a great home server. Not a media player.

I believe I had it running under server 2012. Hard to remember now since I got other one to run under esxi but I know for a fact it worked with Windows.

The "Certified Servers" team appreciates your question. Yes, Dell Poweredge 2950 supports Windows Server 2012 and VMWare ESXI.

Not sure about windows server 2008, but I do have it installed on W7 64bit. It has been working with no problems.

should be able to do it fine. fwi make sure you got windows net framework 3.5 or higher or you may run into the issue i did installing it on my GF's pc. wound up to be a borked windows update that caused the issue but forwarned is for-armed

I guess it can. You could try using a virtual machine, though. I have 4 OSs this way (VMware Workstation).

it just meets the requirement I have it running with 8 gigs and a 120gig ssd on whs 2011 64 bit. the realtek nic is the problem. may sure you get the win 7 drivers for them first

If you are running Windows virtually and that VM meets minimum specs I don't see why it wouldn't run. Keep it mind if the VM doesn't connect to internet at all, you will want to get the disc version.

Zachary, The Certified Servers team appreciates your question. The Poweredge 2950 is able to have Windows 2012 installed on it.

MS and HP recommend you only use WHS designed components, but yes you can install custom applications. One option is to use remote desktop to connect to the server, from there it's pretty much your standard Windows.

Neither. It is Widows 8 Home, meaning it will run standard 32-bit applications, such as Microsoft Access, PowerPoint, and many other desktop programs.

I don't think so. It needs the Drobo desktop software installed on the computer you're using, i don't think that will work on a server.

YES. It's a Windows 8.1 pc. It'll run anything that a new pc will typically run.
