I want to set up a home server and take advantage of everything it can offer, specialty privacy.
Raspberry PI, no matter the version, are all quite expensive here in Brazil, so that's off the table. I'll go for a regular desktop. But the the requirements for a server that "does it all" remains a mystery to me.
What specs do you guys recommend?
oh I wasn't talking about storage media. I'm talking about rack servers, switches, storage arrays (with new drives), etc., etc.. The older hardware can wear out/break (I used to do MTTF/MIL-HDBK-217 calculations for avionics) but generally speaking it's got a lot of life left in it by the time it hits the surplus market. It's also usually designed with redundancies/failover mechanisms which means you don't have to bodge together inferior solutions.
I misunderstood then
