That is precisely what it means. I dont plan on buying any of the hard drives when i first purchase the server. At first i plan on using a 2tb drive that i have laying around. The server is going to run CentOS and will be used as a:

1) Media Server/streaming
2) Web server
3) Game servers
4) possible transcoding

P.S. Would you reccomend Raid?
