Looking at an upcoming server build. The 4GB ram +500GB storage is not enough due to the intense file related use and the continual scanning of important documents.
At least 16GB of ram is necessary because while there are only 3 computers, each is simultaneously using up to 2 different programs installed to the server as well as reading files through these programs. Newer programs will be more demanding.
For a file server with only 16GB ram, is ecc necessary?
If so, will a simple server build work?
