Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Computer Servers
I've been trying to get my hands on one of the best home servers on the market. Got it for a great price and it seems brand new. This product was easier to setup than I had imagined. Almost too good to be true. Microsoft is discontinuing the Windows Home Server OS and HP has discontinued the production of this unit. It is too bad because both companies had made very innovative products, very useful and very simple to use. You have this server hooked up on your network configure what data on your PCs and laptop you need backed up and it does it automatically. You can also expand the storage on the unit as there are 3 empty bays for SATA I/II drives and not to mention the external drives that can be connected. That's not all, when your data is backed up on this unit it also replicates it on the expanded drives. If a drive should fail have no fear, your data is already backed up, just replace the drive and it will restore your data for you. You can keep your media files all in one location, no need for multiple external drives. It comes with software CD, restore CD and recovery CD.Read full review
The HP MediaSmart is an aesthetically-pleasing, low-profile redundant solution to most poeple's storage needs. It is upgradeable, if you're so inclined, for a reasonable amount of money and for the intrepid you can install your own OS and even connect a KVM kit (since it's head-less). I've even seen folks tool the case so that the KVM connectors appear as if they came with the chassis.
This item is awesome upgrade the processor and memory to bring the server upto date

Upgraded this easily enough to WHS2011 as soon as I received it. I had to use a 3rd party freeware to enable the HD lights under WHS2011 but the device itself is rock-solid. It's small, quiet, and does what it's supposed to with ease: backup my computers and store my documents and media. Great little box.
Its too bad HP discontinued this device. I have several of them, and they are reliable and well designed.
