Hi
So I have just been given 4 2TB hardrives and i want to run them in a NAS type pc but am not too sure what to actually install on the pc.
I have windows server 2012 and 2016 available to use or of course linux. The main issue for my indeciveness is that the pc the drives are in at the moment is a really old pc.... its running a 64bit athlon single core at i think 2.2GHz and 1 GB of ddr400 it also has an 80Gb IDE bootdrive this is because the board only has 4 SATA connectors and I figure a IDE drive is faster than running a USB 2.0 boot. I know Linux will be fine running on it but is it worth trying out windows server? and if it is not what distro would you recommend running?
