spippy71 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Thanks, The HP MicroServer Gen8 is a great product. I've been building home file/app servers for 15 years and been unsatisfied with the outcome. The MicroServer finally has all the features I've always wanted. * Affordable * Small Form Factor * Low Noise * Visualization options * Excellent Performance * Four HDD plus one SSD storage options * Lights Out Management * Virtual Console and Media * Multiple NICs The only thing I would ask is a rack-mount option. But it's small enough to place on a rack-mount shelf. Cheers, Steve. Edited September 23, 2014 by spippy71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think they didn't go with a rackmount version because the MicroServer is aimed at really small businesses. Frankly, if HP is going to work on MicroServer mods, issues, features, and design, I hope they concentrate on more important items. You're right, the box does fit on a small shelf very well.
