Not sure what options are out there as I have not put together a > server in many years. You have not said what you are doing with the "home server"... I am using an HP Proliant MicroServer N54L to serve up 3 TB of net capacity running FreeBSD 10. I have two SSD for the OS (installed in an adapter in the optical drive bay), four HDD in the internal slots, and an external five slot enclosure. Total power is a max of 150w for the HP and an additional 50w for the external for a total of 200w. Not micro-power but very low for the capacity I am serving (the 3 TB is fully redundant using 3-way ZFS mirrors). -- -- Paul Kraus paul@kraus-haus.org Co-Chair Albacon 2014.5 http://www.albacon.org/2014/
