CPU power is more than adequate and memory is plentiful and cheap enough where the impact of running storage services on the box isn't really an issue.
That still leaves two SATA ports for SSD, or with the new motherboards with M.2 ports, especially PCI 3.0 M.2 ports, for keeping the performance for general program use or running a VM. I think most motherboards have at least six SATA ports as standard now and four 3-10Tb hard drives in a single system are more than adequate to meet my storage needs. I'm moving to a single desktop for use and storage. Subsequently found a better solution - PicturesToExe on a PC,Ĭreates a USB Flash stick which I run on the monitor, so the NUC is currently unused Windows 8.1 & Classic Shell on an ASUS Transformer notebook/tabletĪn Intel NUC to run slideshows on a 32" HDMI monitor. Linux Mint on on a home-assembled PC (for when I feel a need for Linuxness) Win 7 on a home-assembled PC (my regular everyday PC) Or I could look into a dedicated NAS box, or a Linux-based server solution. I'll assume that Storage Spaces or some functional equivalent will be in Win10, so that is a potential candidate. WHS is apparently not a Win10 free upgrade candidate, but the $cost is not an important factor for me. I've read enough to become interested in Storage Spaces, but have no seen any mention about that in the Win10 announcements. WHS is effectively Deprecated, and will soon be abandoned as roadkill, so I'm starting to think about what I should use as an alternative home file server.
