We have covered a wide range of home server storage solutions, from the
popular four drive systems from HP, to simple NAS solutions from QNap and even
the 8-drive offering from Via. For a lot of people that simply don't need that
much storage, Via has developed the Artigo A2000. It's a two hard drive barebone
systems that offers an increasing amount of flexibility for your storage needs.
Similar to the other offering from VIA, the Artigo's chassis is not by any means
an exclusive Windows Home Server solution. It will work and includes drivers for
all flavors of Windows and Linux, if you desire to use it for a different
application. However, for the purposes of this review I will be solely
approaching the unit as a platform for WHS as I feel it was what most our
readers are interested in. While there is built-in VGA graphics included there
is simply not enough horsepower behind this to seriously consider it as a viable
HTPC client.
