HP ProLiant Ml310e with Xeon E3 1220 $669 from Harris Technology

20

I thought this was a pretty decent deal for a Proliant server, even though it is only single socket.

You will need to supply more RAM of course (unbuffered ECC ram) so that will be another $300.00. But it doesnt need to be HP-branded smart memory.

Only the single SATA hard drive as well, although it does support hardware based RAID and SAS drives from what I can tell.

I built a server for one of our offices recently and even from scratch it wasnt as cheap as this, so I feel like a bit of a dill honestly.

      Thanks for that. Unfortunately I noted this in the T and Cs:-

      "This cash-back is only available on HP ProLiant Models ML310, ML310e, ML350e, ML350p when purchased together with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 Reseller Option Kit."

      I dont think that Harris carries SBS 2011. Maybe I can check.

  • Looks like in store pickup only.

  • You can get 8GB of Unbuffered ECC DDR3 Ram on ebay for resonably cheap. Like $80-90 per stick.

    Thats what I did when I had to get some for my Microserver.

  • quit cheap…

    …I don't get what it's for. It's basically a tower PC with an ILO, a year's warranty, not enough RAM and no OS, for $670.

    It seems pricey for use as a NAS, there's no HDMI-out for desktop/home theatre use, and if you're wanting compute speed wouldn't you go with a rack mount form factor?

    • Its a PC with ilo, hardware based raid support incl SAS drives if you need them and a Xeon processor.

      By way if illustration, the same CPU currently sells at umart for $279.00. An Intel server board currently sells for 200-odd, so just an equivalent board and CPU costs nearly as much as this machine.

      I am not suggesting this is or should be for home use.

    try getting a good quality gen8 smart hdd caddy for these. I bought 8 from amazon@50 each and it took almost 2 months!!!! HP is quite sneaky on gen8's tower servers. all the "additives" example licenses (ilo, smartarray, etc), memory and hp hdd will cost more than the server unit itself.

    • Thanks for the info. Do you need those caddies in order to add hard drives?
