I've had experience with the R620 or whatever it's called

The biggest pile of shit I've ever used. Sometimes if it shuts down there's a BIOS bug where you have to take out the CMOS battery for a few minutes for it to boot again. Otherwise it'll just boot to a black screen

The I/O on it is horrendous too

Stay so fucking far away. Stick with Dell or HP

Start small

Set up a nextcloud or something then use NGINX on another VM to connect to it as a reverse proxy

That'll help you understand cf a little more

You can't just drive in and be an expert, it'll take years to get good

  1. it'll get the job done. For a "nub" I'd recommend it

  2. go with a 4 drive bay. Start with 2x in RAID 1 and if you need more space, go with 4x in RAID 6

  3. depends on your network architecture and network utilization at the time

If it's just idle, then no.

  1. what software should you use to complete this task
