It occurred to me that perhaps something like FreeNAS (TrueNAS core) might work for me in my original server hardware. To that end I purchased a Synology DS418play with high expectations that it would fill the bill, but I have had problems with the unit and it is now being sent back. It worked so well that I wish there was WHS 2020 because I am in search of a suitable replacement. Over the ensuing years it worked as expected and required very little care and feeding. This was used with WHS 2011, primarily to backup my small network of 3 PCs.

About 9 years ago I finished my first ever server build with help from STH ( build post here).
