I'm looking to get an Acer easyStore H340-H 3TB Windows Home Server to share media between my Apple TV (with the ATV flash plug in), Acer Aspire Revo and also back up the various Windows 7 PC's around my house.
Here are my requirements:
Will this fulfil my requirements?
Also, I use Carbonite for online backups, could I install it onto this (as it's a Windows PC I hear, with just a different front end) and then have it automatically back up the selected files on the home server? This would be more convenient than leaving my multiple PCs on overnight to back up, as some of them are still in the initial backup stage.
If this will not be a suitable option for me, what is?

Here are my requirements:
- Fast Video Streaming across the network
- Ability to back up easily
- Ability to mount as a network drive (so XBMC on my Acer Revo can pull in my video files)
- Connect to the Apple TV with ATV flash (again, for XBMC videos)
Will this fulfil my requirements?
