WHS Disk Management possible in W7?

[Irish_Tom]

Lo all,

I'm trying to spec an all-in-one HTPC/NAS and I was thinking of using WHS. However, as a Mac user primarily all of my media is iTunes based.

As such, I'd like to be able to run iTunes on this machine but I understand iTunes 9 and WHS don't get on easily.

So, can you 'Pool' multiple HDDs (necessary for the NAS side of things) in Windows 7 the way you can in WH?

Cheers for any ideas.

Hmmm, so there's no third party software that does the same thing?

I'm concerned about a RAID for a few reasons, the biggest being how inflexible a RAID is when adding additional hard drives. Also, adding a RAID card to the motherboard would be expensive and would take up a lot of space in a ITX sized case.

From the research I've done, the onboard RAID solutions don't seem to be very good either.
