Re: Raspberry Pi Servers

How do I prevent hackers from coming in an open port like port 80 and messing/destroying my stuff?

Also, with the WD PiDrive, could I use a normal 1 TB hardrive USB connection, or would I have to buy their version?

Re: Raspberry Pi Servers

VArious people have done that. The Pi3B should be able to do a really good job. You might want to look at the WD PiDrive to go with for your mass storage. (And get the drive this month for the introductory discount price.)

Re: HOWTO: Enable USB device mode on Pi Zero

My current working set-up for this is RPi2B with WD PiDrive kit, short Nokia micro-USB cable to Pi0.

It won't do any harm to add a second micro-USB to the Zero's power in port (so long as it's fed from the same hub or port on host Pi), see if that improves it.
