What version of windows to use for a home NAS
Posted: December 25th, 2014, 12:21 am
I'm finishing up a home NAS and mediaserver and I want to use a version of windows that is best suited for this task.
I'm currently considering between these three: Windows 7, Windows 2008, Windows homeserver 2011.
The NAS is going to be holding and sharing almost all of my media Music/TV/movies and will also act as a download machine for use with SANZBD/CP/Headhones/Sickbeard.
I'll also be running services such as PLEX and Subsonic server on it at the same time, streaming things locally and over the internet.
Previously I had all these services on my main computer, but It got to be too much. Any help is appreciated.
