I wish my web server were in the corner of my room

You can always plug in a spinning disk. I used an RPi Model A to stream HD video off an HDD for around a year and it worked just fine. Keep an image of your SSD in case it gets corrupted and you need to reinstall.

Okay, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I thought the R-pi 2 requires the OS to be on the micro-sd to boot and can't use USB or PCI adapter connected drives?

Yes, that’s true. What I was suggesting: * put the OS on the sd card. * Put all the data on an external drive that is more reliable. * Take a snapshot image of the sd card when setup is complete. If your sd card is ever corrupted you can use the image to restore the server.
