I currently have a home server running windows home server and I hate it. I have a large drivebender pool that I have had to recover on a few occasions, performance isn't great, and I just want something easy.
I just purchased an 8TB drive that has encapsulated my ~4TB of current storage
I'm looking for a much simpler solution. This is where I need help, here's what I'm looking for:
-stable
-Cheap and simple
-good transfer speeds
-ability to stream files to local pcs, firetvs using kodi, other kodi devices
-host local media for anyone on the network, permissions, security etc are all out the window, I just want a local share drive that is easy for everything on the network to access
-remote management from a pc
-No need for pools or arrays, I just want a drive "d:" etc to contain a bunch of folders that I can access from everywhere. If I fill up the drive, I will either buy a bigger drive and move on to that, or if the device allows I will add another drive "e:"
-torrent plugin/app
-IP camera support
