Windows Home Server Part 2 - Hardware / Network / Installation Notes
This is the second in a series of Windows Home Server articles that will be on this site. Right now, I’m thinking it will be a 5 part series and if you missed the first then go ahead and check out Windows Home Server Part 1 now. Here in part 2 we are going to be discussing all the hardware that you need to get started, what to buy, networking, and some brief install notes. I will also be giving an overview of the server I use at home with things I like and would do differently or will be upgrading.
It Starts with the Network
Windows Home Server is basically an easy to use but powerful Network Attached Storage system (NAS). The key to this is that it’s attached to the network and accessed that way. Well, when you have one bridge to an island that a lot of people want to get to you should make sure it’s big enough. It is easy and fairly cheap to get your network upgraded at home so lets look at what we need.
