Product: Mediasmart ex490
Operating System: Other

I have an ex490 which is currently running WHS v1.  I am thinking of installing WHS 2011 but I would lose some features by upgrading to WHS 2011.  Since there is not many Add-Ins available for 2011, I am not sure if I should upgrade or not. Obviously, the server is old and outdated.  WHS 2011 is the same, old and outdated. The two big features that I would lose is the HDD and Status Led lights and Drive Extender.  I don't know if it is worth the trouble to upgrade or just continue to run WHS v1.

Most references to LED lights for WHS 2011 is either dead or page cannot be found.  I understand I can run WHS 2011 without the lights working but it is helpful.
