| | | | | I've been looking for a while for a machine that can run a RAID array, giving me somewhere to put my media and backups that wont lose everything if a hard disk dies. My real problem when looking for something that fits my needs is price. There's plenty of capable devices out there, but they tend to get expensive quickly - a Drobo or multi-disk NAS box can set you back £300 before you've bought any disks. | |

| | | | | Note: I am using FreeBSD as the operating system in the article, but the information should be generic to Linux or any non-Microsoft operating system. This should also apply to most other current HPE ProLiant servers (as of 2019) other than the MicroServer (UPDATE: Don't own one, but this article should apply to the new MicroServer Gen10 Plus as well). I recently got a Xeon 4108 HPE ProLiant ML110 Gen10 to replace my MicroServer as a home server along with two 1TB hard drives to run in ZFS RAID. | |
