First off, this was my first home server and it was much larger than I expected. To me, this isnt a problem as I have plenty of room in the basement where I keep it. As the other reviewers have mentioned, this thing is extremely loud! When it first starts up it sounds like a jet engine! Once its going, its not as bad, but I would still recommend having this somewhere out of the way, unless you need a white noise machine in the bedroom.
I was able to install server 2019 in place with no issues and it has been running for about a month very smoothly. I installed an extra 1TB drive and, as it was my first time, gave myself quite a scare when on next reboot it reported no media installed. The server comes with 2x147GB drives which are pre-configured in a RAID 0+1 (which meant very little to me at the time); the two physical drives are combined into one logical drive 147GB. while running you can (but probably shouldn't) remove either drive without issue, but for some reason when I added the third drive, it wiped out my raid config. I had to access the raid config and re-add the raid 0+1 on the 2x147GB and another raid 0 on the 1TB drive, and I was back up and running (nothing lost, thankfully). These do appear to be used drives; however, as the raid manager indicated that one of the drives was nearing end of life, so that is a bit of a concern.
-1 star for failing SAS HDD
+1 star for 2x as many PSU as described
-1 star for no box of nerds
Hilarious box of nerds included, love the gag gift!
Passed my component and stress tests, runs like a champ. Sounds like I have a jet engine in my office, but that's to be expected.
Definitely bang for buck value here, will purchase again!
