HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 X3216, 8GB-U, 4LFF, non-hot-pluggable, SATA, 200W power supply, 1J VOS entry-level server

Precise and Prompt delivery

There are good points and bad points to this device.As a tinkerer, I side graded a 4 disc NAS box - co-ersted into running Windows 2016 Server - onto this hardware.The emc NAS box was a 4 core Atom based box with only 4GB of memory, this is a 2 core AMD-based box with 8 GB of RAM and a spare slot. It was abit of a gamble but cost wise, they were about on par.This platform runs windows far more smoothly and has way better graphics out.The down side - and its a pain - is the CPU is welded onto the board so you are stuck with the 2 cores.Such a bad move... bad move.The BIOS needed updating as on delivery it was a couple of years out of date but generally, the transfer was easy enough.I'm happy with it. It's quiet and does the job but I would not buy another one. Apparently the gen9 was more flexible CPU-wise. There are better options for a small device available and there are better options for a home server out there but this is an adequate small home server. The 4 discs is the best part.There are two low profile PCIe slots but the room inside the box is small so if you are adding a card, it better be really really small.

It’s actually fine for light use, using as a document storage and media server.I use it mainly for documents, backup and running virtual machines for pen testing.If you not using it as your main pc, it’s totally fine.It doesn’t come with a hard drive so you need to get one.It doesn’t come with an optical drive or the SATA data and SATA power to easily plug an optical in.If you don’t want an optical you can mount a SSD in place but there’s a bracket for that.You need SSD caddy if you want to mount a SSD in 1 of the 4 main bays.

So I purchased this - all working fine....now 8 months later.....machine keeps shutting down - know BIOS issue....so you think simple...update BIOS.Alas....no way hose....HP only give you 1 month support....so no access to the new BIOS......Priceless....so 8months in.....now a door stop !!!!

As a proud owner of 2 of these, my advise is skip it. I was lucky to bag of them upon release, they have since almost doubled in price... Then add on another £300+ for the 32 RAM, you can get more processing for you buck if you look elsewhere!

Brought this project to build a home lab. Had previously used the Gen8 and was shocked at how bad this newer model model is.- Chassis design worse. More flimsy, poor access- Internal drive is a shoddy quality USB flash drive- BIOS has known issue with little support from HP (server constantly shutsdown)- No ILO feature (deal breaker for any serious server setup)Utterly useless

Microserveur de grande qualité, installation facile, bonnes performances. Offre 4 baies disques où les disques peuvent être mis en RAID. Les disques 3,5" s'installent sans aucun rack de montage; ce sont les vis montées sur les disques qui servent de guide dans les rainures du chassis; astucieux, simple et efficace! Le BIOS UEFI est un peu compliqué, je suis passé sur l'option BIOS Legacy. J'ai installé l'OS sur un SSD, attention pour alimenter le SSD il faut acheter séparément un câble adaptateur alim 4 broches vers SATA 15 broches. Si vous installez un OS un peu ancien (j'ai installé WHS2011) les drivers fournis sur le site HP ne fonctionnent pas; j'ai un peu galéré mais fini par trouver les drivers BROADCOM 5720 (Network) et AMD (chipset) et MARVELL (RAID) permettant l'installation de l'OS qui tourne parfaitement.

Non fatevi ingannare dalla dimensione o dal prezzo: è un prodotto davvero fantastico, di fascia enterprise.Questo vuol dire: firmware con opzioni server, due schede di rete Broadcom 5720 supportate da VMware, ventilazione efficace, facile da smontare e upgradare e, soprattutto, 4 slot per dischi SATA 3.5" che usano delle viti più grosse come guide (più, volendo, un quinto disco da 2.5" o una SSD da installare al posto del lettore CD).Nota importante: se volete installare una (o più) SSD negli slot da 3.5" avrete bisogno dell'adattatore ufficiale (o compatibile) HP 654540-001, non il classico adattatore 2.5 --> 3.5 che si usa per i case da PC.

lo tengo con ubuntu 16.04 Server instalado y va muy bien. Con los 8Gb de ram es más que suficiente. Además tengo varias máquinas virtualizadas corriendo al tiempo y va genial.No es muy ruidoso, pero tampoco es el equipo más silencioso, suena lo que un pc normal.El sistema para meter los discos es simple y muy efectivo.Lo recomiendo.

Wir waren ja bereits von dem Vorgänger Gen(8) stark begeistert, doch mit dem Gen(10) wo man jetzt tatsächlich nur noch die im Gehäuse integrierten Schrauben an die Platten befestigen muss um die Platten einzubinden, waren wir dann restlos begeistert. Was das angebliche Wackeln der Festplatten, durch wegfallen der Einbaurahmen angeht, können wir bisher nicht bestätigen. Sobald die HDD's fest eingerastet sind, sitzt alles sehr fest und stabil. Dann dazu noch der fantastische Treiber Support für alle gängigen Desktop-Betriebssysteme wie Windows 7 & Windows 10 (32bit & 64bit). Das ist eigentlich genau das was Kleinstunternehmen und Selbstständige haben wollen. Einen kostengünstigen Einsteigerserver mit einer gewohnten Oberfläche, ein paar Freigaben für die Netzwerkscans und Datenablage, vielleicht noch ein kleines Client- Server Lexware und fertig. Kompakt, einfach zu installieren und unfassbar ausdauernd. Wir selber haben hier seid mehreren Jahren den Gen8 im Betrieb und er ist uns noch nie abgestürzt. Weiter so!P.S.: Was wir auch erfolgreich testen konnten, war das implementieren einer 2,5" SSD (mit entsprechendem Adapter natürlich) in den vorhandenen HDD Schächten. SSD in Rahmen eingebaut, Schrauben dran, rein geschoben und fertig.

Ottimo microserver domestico, acceso h24, con consumi ridotti. Utilizzato principalmente come storage di rete e media server di famiglia. L'ingombro è minimale e il rumore impercettibile. Unica pecca il processore un po' scarso e non sostituibile in quanto saldato sulla piastra.
