[QUOTE="Jocker_Boy, post: 849667, member: 85490"] Hello, First thing that i have to say is that i don't understand very well this things: Server/client/NAS/Network Share/RAID. But my ideia is, when i change home (it will be this year) i install a good system in my new house. My idea is: 1. [B]1 PC[/B] [B](Server)[/B] that would have capacity for severall HDD's: - 1 HDD for OS (Windows 7?) - 2 HDD's of 1TB each in RAID (Where i would save all my documents/images/music - important stuff that i don't want to loose) - I think RAID is the best solution if one drive fails. - Severall HDD's where i could save all my media (films/series), and if possible one solution if one drive fails. (for now i only have 3TB of media). - This PC will be used for download torrent and organize media (mkvmerge). - With MP2, i think that i will have to install MP2 Server in this PC. - I will not use TV Capacities, it is only for storage the media. 2. [B]3 PC's (Clients)[/B] in several divisions in the house (2 bethdroom and 1 main room) - I think i will choose the same specs for all the 3 PC's. - They have to be small and silent (i was thinking in Wesena Cases) - With MP2, i think i will have to install MP2 Client in each PC. And with all of this, i think i will need some help. My questions are: 1. Hardware for PC Server 2. Software for PC Server (OS - Win 7? FreeNAS?MP2 Server?) 3. What kind of RAID for the important stuff 4. For the media stuff, what is the best solution if one drive fails? Also RAID? 5. I will need a good router, right? 6. Ethernet cables, the best is Cat6? 7. Hardware for PC Client's (I like the wesena Cases - Mini ITX7) 8. Software for PC Client's (OS - Win 7? MP2 Client?) 9. If better, it also could be [B]1 PC Server/Client[/B] - Living room and [B]2 PC Client[/B] - bethdroom I know that there is a lot of question, but i would appreciate some guides to start this project.
