I'm usually onboard with "I don't want a big clunky server" but if you look at the XU4 with disks laying flat on a shelf.. it's really not less space than my MicroServer (ok, maybe 15cm² smaller..) so I think your size argument falls flat.
- pizza234 9y agoIt depends on the requirements. If a user requirer an array of 32 3.5" disks for his home server, then also a MicroServer is not adequate. If a 2.5" disk is considered adequate for a home server (they have multi-TB size), there are plenty of SBC+2.5" disk enclosures that are significantly smaller than a MicroServer (of course, then one needs to use a specifc SBC model). I do have a MicroServer-sized machine as well, and the size is definitely not comparable to an SBC+disk enclosure.
