Sam Wood has released version 1.0.9.8 of his very cool Windows Home Server Disk Management tool.
Windows Home Server Disk Management is an Add-In for Microsoft Windows Home Server. This Add-In is designed for users who need more detail about their server's storage status than what the standard WHS Server Storage interface provides.
Features:
- Detailed information for each disk in your Windows Home Server
- Real-time temperature and activity monitoring
- Capacity indicators for individual disks
- Customizable disk names
- Customizable 3D wireframe representation of your server
- You can use the information provided by Disk Management to identify, troubleshoot, and monitor the disks inside your server.
After building a 3D wireframe representation of your server using WHS Disk Management, you can select disks or drive bays to quickly identify the location and status of physical hard drives. The 3D wireframe can be rotated, moved, and zoomed in real-time.
The addin installs very easily, looks great and provides plenty of additional storage pool information, now all I need to do is pull the server apart to grab the drives' serial nos. (a problem only when you have 4 out of 6 disks which are identical).
See screenies below, for more information and to download the addin, head over to
