What can I use a server for? You know like a home server.
They arent too expensive, and would like too know the possible uses with them.
Storing files safely with a redundancy and bit-checking enabled filesystem like ZFS and serving up those files. It frees up the demand of file storage on your workstations so you can experiment with other operating systems without as much stress. Also, Plex Media Server.

He means personal area storage, direct hardware access (usb, etc) as opposed to "cloud" storage which inevitably comes under attack and is slow as fuck because it has to pass through the internet.
