low power WHS for torrents 24/7 + storage - what proc/mobo??
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2009 11:16 am
looked around and see a lot of commotion about whs and low power options, but no concrete solutions. plus everyone has their own angle on what they're trying to do.
what i'd like:
1. reasonable power use. as low as possible without worrying about 'extremely' low power consumption.
2. four to six sata ports
3. gigabit of course
4. not worried about transcoding.. just want enough power to run 40-50 torrents at one time (most sit unactive.. seeding, but no current activity) and stream music/video files at the same time.
also, i haven't searched this yet, but any recommendations on large 1.5 or 2.0 tb low power drives would be appreciated.
i would like a whs to run 24/7 to store all my music/movies and also log into it remotely to run my torrents. i just think it's a waste for my crysis machine to run 24/7 just for torrents.. i also have other laptops that i want the whs to be a "big drive" for.
i already have a legit copy of whs, so i'm not interested in linux or nas. i'm looking forward to trying windows automatic backups since i'm too lazy to backup myself.
thanks.. ! i built my gaming rig with all the great advice from this website and i'm so happy with how quiet it is! my box before that was an airplane!!
