Hpe 831065-S01 ProLiant ML30 Gen9 Server, 4 GB RAM, No HDD, Matrox G200, Black

So far, a good server. We purchased a total of 4 of these so far. We added 16GB memory and four 512GB SSDs in RAID-10 configuration to each (giving us 1TB of usable disk space) and loaded them with Windows Server 2016. We made the mistake of ordering the 8-SFF cage and waiting to install it - a complete waste of time and money, because we found out that, while the cage can support 8 SFF drives, it would require two cables to do so and the motherboard on this machine only supports ONE cable. After spending many hours trying to find a way around it, the only choice would be to buy a second disk controller (to support the other 4 slots) that costs far more than buying another fully configured server. If you want to get the 8SFF cage, there is probably another SKU to order - don't order this one. We have been using them to stress test our software (we are an ISV who makes back-end software), so we have put the two older ones through about two to three years of typical use in the last several weeks. They have held up flawlessly. One slightly odd thing - we bought two of these in our last order (we had bought two of them in a previous order) - they came with different faceplates that look pretty different.

The product is very high quality. Added 2*16GB RAM 805671-B21, SSD Samsung 960pro with PCI-e adapter ASUS HYPER M.2 X4 MINI CARD and front Fan 820290-B21. Thanks for saller Amuras for bonus HPE keyboard and mouse! Update: After 6 month of usage, virtual machines on this server began to produce blue screens of death. A day later, server stopped turning on. Having removed the processor, it was discovered that one of the capacitors on the motherboard was missing, he just fell apart and was found in the corps of the server. I'm the first time to face this, I was shocked. I checked this capacitor, it was an ok, soldered it in place. But the processor is already faulty. These third-party vendors are likely to sell used servers under the guise of new ones.

Great product and the price was very good. Built two servers using SSDs for fraction of the cost of ordering them configured the same way. One serves as a back up server only, it was less expensive than having a maintenance plan.
