7h3kk1d Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I'm about to move into an apartment and I'm setting up a home network. I'm going to build a rackmount and set up a NAS on it but was wondering if I buy some 1U servers for some other things if they can use the NAS as storage for lots of tasks(not boot). Mainly I'm wondering about running a UPNP server for distributing media but storing the media on the NAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 The only issue I see with this set up is, that if someone is watching a video and another person on the other end starts torrenting files, that could have an impact on the video playback.

What if I got 2 NICS and used one for computer traffic and the other for HTPC and console video streaming. Or I could even try to do load balancing for double the throughput.
