    HP ProLiant MicroServer / NAS 4/5 Bay

    I took delivery of one of these today and initially, Im highly impressed, when you take off the £100 discount you get from HP if you purchase any time up until Dec 31st, at £115 from Dabs it is an absolute steal.



    4 SATA drive bays, 1 5.25" bay for a DVD-ROm (not included, I expect Ill just stick another drive in there). Quiet as a mouse, neat, compact design, internal USB port (as well as usual externals obviously). I plan on using this as a NAS box, Ive stuck FreeNAS onto the internal USB and plan on migrating my drives from my other server to it in a (software) RAID array.

    Ive not used it in earnest as I only got it today, but will post back findings once Ive spent more time with it.

    The same model but with a bigger hard drive has been released and the cashback offer applies until the end of April. Yesterday I received my second microserver

    Ive had my original as a 4x2TB NAS serviing all my media and data around the house, and its been superb. I have virtualised my second one with VMware ESXi, and am running several virtual mahines on it with no problems.

    HP ProLiant MicroServer (250GB Model) now with ?100 cashback!
