I haven't got any experience with home servers but they seem like a good investment. I want one to stream media around the house and back up all our data. I am a bit worried about drivers for WHS 11 because i haven't found many. However the build itself shoudn't be a problem since I've build a PC before.
i3 3220T
Gigabyte SKT-1155 H61N-D2V Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB (I was thinking maybe 2 or 3 of these for the storage, + creating a partition on one for the system storage)430W PSU
Fractal Design Node 3044GB of RAM
thoughts?
will i have an issue with drivers?
ive considered a NAS but this is a similar price and offers more flexibility so i thought it'd be best to get this.
Also RAID, is it necessary?
What about Security? will i need security software?
i know this is a lot of questions, so thanks in advance
