Hello,
I have some questions about home servers and how to set one up.
1) What else can you do with a home server besides backing up a computer?
2) How do you set one up? What do I need?
3) Should I buy a home server or build one?
4) Should I use ssd's or hdd's for storing the things in it?
5) Does it always stay on and do you ever turn it off?
6) Does it require a boot drive (ssd) and/or a storage drive (hdd) like most computers do? Or is everything on one or more drives?
7) How do you connect one to a computer?
8) How much power does one take? I have a pre built computer right now that is just crap; could I use it for a home server? Should I replace anything inside of it? I think I'll replace the power supply for sure but any other suggestions are appreciated. Its got 8gb of ram, an i5 650 that is 6 years old. And I think it has one fan and that's the cpu fan. Would it work good? Thanks for any info.
