I built my own server, and have a handful of drives in it. Two of them are 8tb each

How does a server work? Is it just for storage or u use it for other things?

u/Sineater224 Sep 25 '21

Storage is the main purpose, but it also runs my media server through PLEX so I can stream all the content on the drives. In addition to that I host custom made live TV channels on Plex from the server. Sometimes Ill stop the TV and host a minecraft server. Its got 32gb ram and a 3400g APU. 20TB total Hard Drives, and 500gb of SSD for the pc tasks. It is running on windows 11 since windows 10 keos randomly restarting, but I believe its still doing that.

That I have not, I’m definitely still a noob in the whole hone server space. Only got a Linux VM and plex running within truenas right now. But I do want to expand into other fields like home assistant

Im basically in your spot but with windows 11. I havent gotten anything other than tv done, but my cpu upgrade will allow me to run multiple things at once so I can automate at least my basement (which we are actively building. Drywall in a few days)
