I'd appreciate some advice, from those who dabble in this area (home networking, media server).
As Windows 10 RTM approaches, I've been thinking of replacing my aged home network, based on a nice little HP Proliant Microserver N36L with 8Gb RAM running the defunct Windows Home Server 2011. I'm not sure I need the capability of Windows Server Essentials. Maybe Windows 8 or 10 would do the job? Currently the HP is not even serving media, being used as file storage and not using its RAID capability. But with larger storage at good prices these days (eg, WD Red or Black 3Tb at the best price-point), should I be using storage spaces on a newer OS? I'd like to also use it as a media server, not sure what Windows 8 or Server Essentials would offer. Thanks _____ Ian Thomas Albert Park, Victoria
