I am planning to create a modular server system for home used based on the following:
- Windows Server 2012 Essentials
- Booksize / Nano / Mini PC with one drive for the operating system
- JBOD stack connected via USB 3.0 or eSATA
I am busy researching this but would appreciate any thoughts or recommendations on a barebones nettop of any kind. I've looked at Foxconn, Shuttle and Zotac, and all seem reasonable for what they are.
I'm doing this to give myself modularity and flexibility, something I don't have with my EX495.
