Posted January 31, 201311 yr FPCH Admin I have the software and a case with places for seven HDDs. What kind of motherboard and CPU do I need? Should I get a server motherboard? Is a powerful CPU necessary or can I use a Core two intel processor. I want to use the home server to back up my five home computers. I have 7 2TB hard drives but they are different brands and some are 7200rpm and some 5400rpm, will they all work together? I also plan to back up on the cloud also. What raid configuration is suggested? I was thinking about raid 5. Will I need a raid controller card and what card is suggested. Thank you. hayhurst2 View this thread Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
