Hi this is only my 2nd or maybe 3rd post but I have noticed there is a few tech heads in the forum. And thought I would ask a technical question. I want a home server I am not really bothered what size but has to be over 5TB. I know this is a bit cheeky as engineers can charge up to £120 an hour “so I have been quoted”. But really just want a plug and play home server I can’t build 1 I am not that technical but I can work out a few things, I.E follow destruction manuals. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks Mark

You can buy a pre-configured setup from HP, Dell or any of the major players, and it's pretty much plug-n-play.

Re: Home Server
I can't help here.
I have a home server that handles 3 computers and a backup system that is backing up twice a day. I don't know anything more than that because I have a guy that comes in every 2 weeks to check.
It is all because of my wifes business.

Yeah, because there's no risk of potentially serious problems over a mis-spelling of a drug or piece of software...JAG wrote:As spelling and Grammar and punctuation is all well and good if you need to use it but other peoples skills are in other categorise of life. I.E computer tech,s , Nursing
Anyway, to the OP: what sort of thing do you want your server to do? I have a 5 terabyte one made from bits of old computers (plus a few hard drives) which runs on RAID and has an off-site backup for crucial stuff of under 2GB but without some details of your desires and capabilities it's hard to say what's needed. Perhaps some expertise is worth the money?
