[長期集中討論] HP Microserver Gen8 討論

[Gundam]

用乜鬼raid呀，raid有事上來，reapair及backup都搞到你傻。
我隻5bay syno就係因為轉harddisk，個raid5x5 hdd搞左2－3日。
仲要幾隻大hard disk做臨時storage。

所以之後打死都唔再用raid，因為可以一隻一隻獨立處理，
有事只要搞一隻，都唔知幾方便。

我N54L用3Tx2 Raid0 做BT+FTP, 方便唔使轉HDD, 同埋內部Copy 2xxMB/s
你係咪想換Gen8? 我部Gen8可能好快放售

N54L is easier to setup and control than Gen 8

or

N54L is more user friendly than Gen 8

Just bought one Gen 8 with the P222 RAID card in my office and testing the installation steps.

I would say, besides CPU speed :

For standard OS (Windows, ESX, Linux etc) and standard hardware, Gen 8 is much easier to setup because it can be installed through HP's Intelligent Provisioning. It's the advanced version of SmartStart and you can install a standard OS in a fast and dummy way, together with all necessary HP drivers and management tools.

But if you want to PLAY with the server, say installing Synology OS, or trying to boot from specific HDD (not the default first HDD), or having Hot-Plug support, or trying to add extra HDDs/SSDs etc... N54L/N40L is much more flexible because the modified BIOS is incredible....

Intelligent Provisioning裝windows要用碟

可以用usb, ftp, smb都得

Use rufus to create bootable usb from windows server iso ：
