Travelling with my wife and daughter in teh car the other day and I think I made them want to jump out of the moving car as I was explaining what I was doing with my new Microserver. They just don’t appreciate a good tech chat.

Microserver

I got this from eBay recently and it came with 2 2TB hard drives. So I ordered another of the same and decided to create a Raid Array (5) I was surprised that even though the drives were all blank it still took around 30ish hours to build the array. It’s also a bit frustrating that from 12TB there is only 7TB of usable space. But at least my data should be safe.

So It’s now installed and I am setting it up to store some of the files from my network. Then I will be looking at setting it up as a DEV machine for when I start building things or need an environment for testing.

I’t is slowly starting to move and I am trying to make time to keep the journey going.

Hope to have a good update soon.
