Hosting files and media and basically overhauling home system and network with awesome new setup. Some help would be nice. Stream videos locally to tv in other parts of house, backup hundreds of GB and thousands of files almost daily across several home computers and laptops, as well as across internet to other parts of country for easy quick access. Overhaul PC for extreme multitasking; however don't need 8 cores or multiple graphics cards because there is no video editing or gaming.

Willing to drop to $4500. $~2500 to $3000 PC with other things for the home server.
But if needed have top budget of $6500.
You're going to write it off?? Otherwise, I dont see what taxes has to do with it. Hope the IRS doesnt read this thread.

IRS doesn't care. This is allowed with current State and Federal laws. I am a lawyer.

I decided on a dedicated NAS to go along with the non-NAS PC.

I think he's talking about wiring your house (in-wall) for Cat6 ports in every room with a centralized switch. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know...I'm not a lawyer.

Well I think doing that would be unnecessary.

So is building this PC. But having your house wired for Ethernet with a real switch in the closet is way cooler.

Ok, so I am only getting about 30Mb/s transfer speed.

Moreover, large transfers (30GB+) are causing Explorer to crash.

This happened with both 30GB+ of movie files (large files),
and also same with 30GB+ of text files (small files).

Given the NAS and the system, all gigabit capable, and using a CAT6 cable, what is causing this?

NAS is plugged to router, router plugged to PC.

30 megaBITs or 30 megaBYTEs?

How did you configure the NAS?

What drives did you install?
