Hello Steve,

 

welcome on board.

 

Before I bought my Gen8, I also looked here first.

 

The help in this forum is fast and very good.

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.

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.
