Board for file server

Another raid array on the server is having problems. This does not affect the FTP in other ways than slowing the whole server down by a lot as it times out etc. I'm restarting the server and will migrate the data from the error array to a working one. New disks ordered.

Edit: Files migrated and server coming back up. This is due to the disk checking I'm running. We'll have to make due until the new disks arrive.

Server back up. Might be slower than usual as I create arrays and migrate stuff back. Last edited by Turran; 20 December at Very nice! I just found out about the Whdload download tool and i cant wait to try it out! WinUAE support. WinFellow support. OtherUAE support. FS-UAE project. AmigaLive support.

In fact, file serving is not a particularly taxing task, especially not for a home file server that will likely never have to distribute data to more than a handful of clients simultaneously. Therefore, rather than using a powerful and power-hungry CPU, it's a better idea to use a less capable but also less power consuming chip.

However, neither platform produces a particularly pleasant experience with Windows Home Server Both platforms take an agonizingly long time to install WHS, and neither will be capable of doing much more than simply serving - transcoding video on an Atom or Zacate WHS system is painfully slow.

That said, both Oak Trail and Brazos are sufficient to run WHS, especially if your file server will be performing only basic tasks like streaming MP3s and storing photos.

One thing to keep in mind when selecting an Atom-based file server: go for the most recent models that are dual cores and have Hyper-Threading - the price premium is very modest and the performance increase is palpable. While multiple display outputs might not be an important consideration for a file server, more flexibility is always better. Its expandability is limited to one PCIe x16 slot, which can also accommodate PCIe x4 and x1 cards - whereas PCIe 'up-plugging' can be hit or miss on different motherboards, I have had excellent success up-plugging on this particular model.

In comparing Atom with Zacate in the context of a file server, the regular laptop or desktop experience paints a useful picture. Atom is barely sufficient. Zacate is sufficient.

Synology enables simple data delivery via network system, which brings about convenient utilization and more flexibility of back-end system management. Synology was the best option as it was not only stable but also cost-effective. Business File Server. Business File Server To collaborate and share files across teams or locations while also considering data governance and privacy, Synology combines the flexibility of the cloud with control of on-premises file services.

Next generation file service in hand.
