Elena. (she/ her)<p><span>Trying to decide if a 2-bay NAS is overkill (for me who does not know what she's doing anyway) and if a single board computer like the Zima board is enough for a start.<br>The latter is decidedly cheaper too.<br>You know, for a </span><i>start</i><span> into the home server thing.<br><br>Any advice? This is your chance.<br>Just to be clear: I've been researching this for months, maybe even years by now. I have ideas about which NAS to get (</span><i>if</i><span> I should go that route), and I am mentioning the Zima board deriberatley (instead of a Raspberry Pi). So I'm not a super clueless noob noob. But still unsure enough.<br><br>Edited to add that I am in the EU. Maybe that‘s useful info for those who might want to reply.<br><br>Thank you to everybody who‘s already replied. I‘ll get back to you later, when I have more headspace and time.<br><br></span><a href="https://ibe.social/tags/homeServer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeServer</a> <a href="https://ibe.social/tags/NAS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NAS</a> <a href="https://ibe.social/tags/singleBoardComputer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#singleBoardComputer</a> <a href="https://ibe.social/tags/ZimaBoard" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZimaBoard</a></p>
