I have been using Windows Home Server v1 (32bit) since 2009. My main drive just died, luckily I have everything backed up on a second drive.
This is just a personal NAS for myself and wife. We use it for storing and accessing documents like word, excel and such. I also use it to store all my photography in RAW format. The only other thing it is used for is music. I rip all my CDs to flac and stream to any of the PCs or the stereo. At the time of the crash I had about 900+GB of data on a 1TB drive.
What would my logical build be based on? I would like RAID 1 or better so everything is mirrored unlike how I had been doing it and manually backing up.
Should I go with WHS2011 even though it is discontinued? FreeNAS, even though it may be way more than I need? Something else I have not considered? I am building using my own parts. I have a machine based on an Intel Q6600 (quad core 2.4GHz) and 4 GB RAM.
Thanks for any input and information.
