Safe Server Module (SSM)
Protect your Home Server investment. The SSM is the world’s only OEM Home Server product to protect, in real time, your operating system and primary data HDD !
The SSM is designed specifically to be housed in a SQA-5H Home Server. (It may be possible to fit it to other Home Servers too)
It comes delivered with 2x 500GB 2.5” HDDs, prepared in a RAID1 mirror array, including a Tranquil build of Windows Home Server (PP3) for either the Series 1 or Series 2 SQA-5H.
The SSM can simply be added to an existing SQA-5H – and the Server initialised again (losing the DATA), or you can Restore the Home Server with the supplied new DVD, with the SSM fitted and recover your DATA*
Full advice is provided with the SSM, on how to install / upgrade existing Home Server installations
and can also be
found here.
Priced at £169.00 + VAT (£199 incl), the SSM represents excellent value for money, bearing in mind the system protection it offers, and ease of replacement of the primary (OS + DATA) HDD. You also will receive a desktop application to help you to monitor the SSM, and also setup email messaging to alert you to the status of the SSM
Andrew Edney from Using Windows Home Server tests the SSM
with 3 other Home Servers
Lenovo, ACER and HP
The SSM will work in the
Tranquil PC Windows Home Servers, and will fit perfectly well into the Lenovo
Ideacenter D400, the Acer Aspire H340 and all the HP MediaSmarts and the X510
Datavault.

*Please note that you have enough spare capacity – i.e. the SSM is a 500GB device, if you have a SQA-5H-3000 with 2x 2TB HDDs fitted, and BOTH are pretty full, you will not be able to provide 100% folder duplication (initially) until you have set up the SSM, then re-added the second 2TB drive as a new pool device.
