Can Your Server Survive a Ballistics Test? HP decided to tes

[darwincollins]

A different video had the military blowing up computers (on a barge?), and this one was about shooting it.

Perhaps, there is an unspoken desire for such destruction on these devices?

[PRODVDi]

If only they had made their printers as reliable.

[itsBarcode]

'bullet proof' is an overstatement, they shot it through a specific chosen spot

[dLimboStick]

It's nice to know we'll still get streaming video the next time a laid off silicon valley engineer goes on a shooting rampage.

[reztek]

cool... but can I choose were to shoot the bullet?

[brunomarx]

"Our engineers"?

XP Disk arrays are made by Hitachi.

:S

Tsc tsc

Shame on you HP.

[indianaghostq]

it would only be impressive if at least one, or half, or all except one, of the cpu's was hit and it never missed a beat.

[mdadnan]

"HP shall not be liable if you perform similar test and data loss occurs." Pretty much clears everything

[ikekie]

which is why the video lasted for only 3 minutes.

[jomjom123]

If you watch closely you can see that they did hit a motherboard, (if thats what that thing is) just hard to tell with that angle. I wonder how much longer it would keep working with all of that water pouring in it though...

[indianaghostq]

the water mostly hit the side of the server and poured down the side. the hole was too small to allow large amounts of water in to the server unit.

[nacionw3]

Why not choose a random point, or a HP server choose the point to shoot?

[BMTBomber]

Yeah, I realized that too. It can't damage anything if nothing other than the shell gets hit...

[dbm989]

yeah that's gay. set it on fire and blow it up, then i'll buy it

[sukha55]

ur retarded lmao!

of course its fake. Um did u happen 2 listen 2 the end?

[ZaxNorris]

Mayb u shud lern 2 speel. You steaming ass. Just because it says don't try it at home, it's fake? Its called a disclaimer. By the way, get off of youtube and take an english class.

[sukha55]

Wow! This is surprising...

Some guy just reply to a comment, which was posted one year ago.

By the way, just because I am using "Internet Slang", It does not mean I cannot spell.

maybeusudlrn2lrn?

[ZaxNorris]

Note, "You're Retarded" doesn't actually bespeak your intelligence, either, and that quote isn't 'Internet Slang'. AND, its called a spacebar.

[sukha55]

One more time?

LRN2LRN.

ur= your're

Its retarded not Retarded

Its English not english

You can't begin... never mind.

It's apparent to me that you like to waste your's and others time looking up old comments.

[thatleeguy]

The bullet passed through one side of the casing, hit a blank spot on the board and went out through the back. Why would it cause any damage?

I'm sure if it had hit a CPU/HD then it'd be a totally different story. Stupid HP marketing...

[brhall001]

I can tell you all must be kids... I have had an hp array 10,000 never powered off or off line for the last 3 years NEVER off line not even for software upgrades.
