Dreamcatcher:gootley question, keyboard mouse lekunda system access etta sesedi? So, aa system koni, server OS install chesi, plex install chesi, oka NAS daaniki connect chaysesthay chaala? or can we add HDDs to this server itself? TIA.
RDP. I just remote desktop from any pc/mac to configure anything on the server. No need for another NAS. You can add upto 4 HDDs into this. Open the front door and hot swap the HDs. You keep the first bay for HD running OS, rest can be used for data and mirroring backups. |

Maverick:
you need a machine that runs 24x7 to work as server. keep the processor/memory spec low to keep power consumption under control. You don't need video card, sound card, keyboard/mouse etc. Here is one example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16859107 921 Then, you would install a "server os" ideally. But, any desktop os would also work. I am running "windows server 2012 essentials" which costs a lot but I managed to get it for free. Don't ask how. that's about it. If you have server os, it gives domain control, account setup, in-network pc backups, vpn connectios OOTB. Additional hard disks can be used to mirror data to be redundant if any drive fails. Put all your media on the data drive. Install your favorite streaming s/w like Plex server and you are good to go. |
