Why have a MicroServer instead of pc or or network hdd ?

Thanks everyone, Ive ran Ubuntu live cd off usb and it was so silent I thought the Microserver was off, I've found another old hdd I can use which im going to try and im downloading windows 2012 to also try.

I think im going to try and get this part right before i install anything else this time.

also If I add my 3tb HDD from my pc to the server will all my data stay on or will it get formatted or wiped?

If you want to use it with the raid controller it will need to be formatted, so you will lose your data, if you are using the server in AHCI mode just using the Intel chipset controller then you can just plug in and go and it'll be fine.

Ok what would be the best option, to keep the data and raid it because ill want to get another drive and raid it at some point.
 
I've replaced the normal 2.5 HDD with a SSD, ive managed to install windows after having issues picking up the SSD, the fan is very quite since moving to the ssd.


I'm Still having a lot of issues, sometime the server not picking up the SSD or the HDDs, lost all my data off one of my backup drives ( had to restore), so ive decided to only mess with setting it up only once if i can help it, ive ordered the 2nd 3tb hdd and im hoping to raid it without issues this time.

Ive re added plex and got the media features but cant get owncloud to work

I got owncloud to work using xampp but i could only use it on the local network.

maybe a sync app or something

Is it possible to get 2 internet connections on one microserver ?
there setrver has 2 lan ports

lets say I have Virgin for general downloads and streaming and I wanted to use another internet connection example plusnet for just my work software so its separate.


Is this possible ?

Yes, possible... but how were you planning to separate the connections?

If using different VMs for different uses, then it would be incredibly easy... you just select the NIC you want to use for each VM and there won't be any cross-talk.

Single OS sharing the connections? That's where the configuration gets a little more complicated... still do-able... just more work involved to setup.

You can even do it over a single LAN connection, with both internet routers on the same network, you would just set 1 gateway for 1 application and the other gateway for another application.

Relatively simple if you know how :)

Yes, Its a single windows 8.1 OS

Well what i was hoping for was vm and that ip for everything and the other BB and that ip for just the the work app and anything else I want to keep separate from, I way thinking if could select the connection I want to use for the program, keep it disconnected from the other IP even if this one disconnects.
