Hello everyone, this is my first time using the LTT Forum so hopefully, I get everything right. I currently have a Dell R710 running ESXi and a couple virtual machines including a VM of Windows Server 2016. My question for everyone is this should I deal with using Windows File Share in the Windows server VM for use on my local network or buy another dedicated server for uses as a physical NAS instead of the virtual one? Also, I already have 4 three TB Seagate SAS drives I could populate another server with. I'm looking for something reliable, fast and fairly straightforward to set up.
