HP MediaSmart Server EX475 and EX470

[pcnerd1010]

I'd rather have this than iCloud! lol

[Laurond]

OY! they got themselves a better scammer :D

[GaMeOvErRules]

could this run like a minecraft server lol?

[XxXPenrdXxX]

@GaMeOvErRules it can but very slowly

I suggest you getting a foxconn barebones kits then make one

[911FalseFlagTerror01]

What do we do now that this server is no longer supported? Should we upgrade to Windows Small Business Server Essentials 2011?

[nincompoof]

lmao @1:20

[billteix]

its not a router duh! It has no router functions.

[LeoNatan25]

What is this, Logan imitator?

[Davidsama]

This little sucker is a few inch taller than a netgear's wireless router. and this little sucker is quite heavy!!!

[Davidsama]

I just got one. but I still need to learn how to make the best of it. HEHEHE mine came with 3TB!!

[famlay365]

mines haves 6 heheheheh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[haha48]

mine has 8 tb but that still wasnt enough storage so i still got 3 nas boxs with 4tb each.. so thats 12tb more and Im out of space already.. took me 2 weeks to fill it all..

[gmisland1200]

Can This Pc Server Use Aplications Like DB's And Programs Or DOS And Cmd's Directly Or Remotly. Just Answer Me Can This Pc Run Programs

[Davidsama]

Humm I think remotly. You need another computer to program it. but like he said is really easy to do so.

[carlanton593]

can this be used as application server?

[upatnite22]

@ 2:45 he said it would support FireFly? does he mean FireFox? If not, what is Firefly? Can somone explain this to me...Like I was a 6yr old? LOL (get it? The juror from Philadelphia, The Movie)

[theblueline77]

Anybody else see the Pink Friday fiasco these guys put on --- Ebay or Newegg is the only way to go...these guys were clueless when the net went down. Very very funny. I wish I had recorded it.

[RomeoneedsaJuliet]

Albert forgot to mention is the CPU which is a AMD Sempron processor.

Your better off building your own server because your not limited to 10 user accounts and a weak processor and you could turn it to many types of servers like PHP, SQL, hosting games and more.

[thoron174]

can i use this thing to host a game server like gmod can i

or am i geting this complity wrong and can i host a web site with this ?

[frostvideo]

No, it's just storage and network in that one, you need a REAL server to do that.

[RomeoneedsaJuliet]

Actually, you can a host website server with the HP media server.

[frostvideo]

But thats aint a game server. :)

[frostvideo]

Why that hassle when you just buy a REAL server instead. And running a game server from home through that is just very bad.

[RomeoneedsaJuliet]

but ofcourse if you get a REAL server than you'll have the burden to pay for a REAL server.

For instance, a basic server motherboard will cost you as much as a SUPERMICRO PDSLA board which is about 170 usd and thats only the board compares to 450 usd for the HP media server.

But don't get me wrong i think this a good server for new commers, but a REAL server is more versatile and expensive.

[frostvideo]

Yes of course, it's worth the money but why buy 450 usd media smart when you can actually put something together pretty cheap that will run a game server flawless. You can also get a supermicro for that price too, thought a 1U is a bad choice just to have on the desk at home and you need to pay for co-location. You can also rent a game server/server/VPS which is pretty cheap too! :)

[RomeoneedsaJuliet]

I think we are both in the same page.

The HP media server would only be good as a server for average people who are not seeking to spent much.

For gamers and web admin, building your server would be a better option but they must pay the premuim price for it which is worth it :)

[RomeoneedsaJuliet]

In Fact you can host a game on that server if you wipe out Microsft Media Server on it than install linux.

[RLHubner]

I don't remember the name of the manufacturer but, I think, in the next year they will be launching a 200tb hard drive.

[heftymadmonkey]

I was never really a backup type of person...probably because i am too lazy!!!

[Gamerdudeeee]

ooh i want one!!

[Igetpaiddaily]

It's always good to see good videos thankx for sharing...

[matt6101]

cool...i think ill just stick to using my 2tb external..

[SavinForMacBook]

yaa...but albert's cool

[psp7677]

say i have all my music on this and im listening to it on a remote computer can i put my music on my ipod from that server thing?

[ttk1opc]

As soon as I heard Microsoft I cringed. So its a giant DRM POS?

[bigjoecf]

what if someone hacks your network?...

[sjc05027]

well thatsn up to your router or wireless router to block hackers if u have imcp ping you will not get hacked. hope that answerd ur question

[buttman1079]

configure your remote access/vpn (virtual private network)and you firewall

[dorbie]

Sounds like Network Attaches Storage, NAS rather than what you'd call a server.

[HornetUK1]

lol noob

[vatikanstaten]

i don't like the idea of homeservers, they gotta run all-time and sucking up power.

[LoCoBoi187]

it doesnt take much power.

[WitmerXL]

700$? id just buy a 1TB internal and share it across our LAN for 500$ less :p

The access from across the world feature is pretty sweet tho :D

[DeadlyDevil666]

Albert is doing a great job.... I preferred logan, but Albert is a very smart man.

[timmie124]

there should be firewire for those external harddrives

[banmeifucan]

Stop assuming things without knowing the facts.

[lexserr]

yeah

[Shirou]

awesome review dude.

[bondi007]

Its basicly c with server sotfware its nothing special no special euipment

[shenmah2]

[Cotton926]

HP is the best PC maker

[lexserr]

[maxpower201]

[Sukz0r]

Can u build mine. LoL

[Hekynn]

Damn thats too much for a mini server =(

[grillan79]

i have one but the only problem is that they wont work if u use a 64 bit OS.

[Hondacars22]

This guy is much better than Logan

[podowan]

[Tphai]

[Xillionous]

I thought it was a SoBe, but I could be wrong

[crysis08032008]

this guy is good!

[brazilev]

what does backup mean? (in this case)

you lose a file from an error or smth and it backs it up? explane pls

[LETHLSS]

solid man

[gravediggmn]

waste of money

[xcloudx01]

Seems nice, sounds like it will be expensive though :p

[o0subzero0o]

$579.99 for the 500 GB version.

$719.99 for the 1 TB version.

That really is expensive ... ^^

[shubhamranjan]

notrealy cause it has ram cpu in it to and the os for it is $150

[1ndah0use]

looks neat.

[kapowwebuyer]

it looks good.... thats as far as it is going!!
