I currently have an old Atom D510 with 2 gigs of RAM running as my home server with Windows Server 2012 r2. It does the job for backing up my main PC and phones, and for serving multimedia files to my HTPC upstairs (Intel Bay Trail NUC).
I'm considering replacing it because my PCI Sata card stopped working with Server 2012 r2. Can what can XPEnology give me that my current setup can't? Can I run it on a VM? I only have 2TB of data, half of which is crucial (family photos and videos).
The system I'm currently considering building to replace the Atom is:
ASUS H87i ITX motherboard
Intel Pentium G3220
Crucial 8GB 1.35v DDR3 RAM
