Thanks for addition ... I referred to TCB as I don't use Quidco.
do I need to worry if the cashback banner with link to cashback form is above description and one of photos is with £100 cashback on it
So they are an authorised reseller!
Ordered the max [5] of these on another deal, paid, debited, sent off paperwork... NOW I get an email to say sorry "limited to 1 per purchase!" so off to PCWB to see if they will do the same if paid online!
Oh and "steve - md" from you know where, if you are reading these "HP Server" threads on HUKD, how about you sort your compliance team out as you are an *official hp reseller* or are you???
Really? Interesting if that's true. Do you have an thing to back it up?
Went through this with a client site we did a little while ago.. it is in fact true! :-(
The contract law that applies between retailers and manufacturers/wholesalers is not the same as the contract law that applies between retailers and their customers.
No, I've got both, just a slightly faster processor, you would not notice the difference in speed
You will if you want to transcode. According to the plex site this will transcode, on the fly, up to 720p. Other variants of this server cannot.
Nice deal, I've gone for this one.
Think generally they're meant to be left on.But boot time would depend on OS and storage media.
My N40L which has a debian install running under ESXi transcodes 720p using Serviio perfectly.
Depends. Install Windows server on the HDD it'll be a few minutes. Install a minimal debian install to an SSD, seconds.
Either way, it's designed to be left on - so boot time isn't really a problem.
Awesome! Thanks for that tip, Will definitely use ESXi, do you just have the one VM or many? Do you find much of a performance hit?
Datastore access can be a bit slow, but I boot all VMs from a datastore on an SSD which solves the problem. I have 4 3TB drives RDM'd to unraid, and then a debian and windows install running 24/7, and a couple of other VMs I boot on demand. Given that ESXi is free (although I have a more functional license from work) you can always try it, and it you prefer native performance, switch over to a normal distro :).
The limiting factor for me is the CPU when it comes to network transfers. Saturating the 1Gbps connection uses about 50% of the CPU power (networking is ridiculously CPU expensive). So if 2 people try to pull 1Gbps from 2 VMs (multiple NICs/load balancing, but limited to 1Gbps per VM) at the same time things get a bit slow. But that rarely happens.
Interesting, unraid (or zfs), debian and perhaps windows server are exactly what I want. Nice to know I can still get gigabit speeds even with a VM.
Hopefully I wont notice any speed drop when doing par+unrar from sabnzbd on this vs my htpc.
anyone knows more places with the same kind of offer, could you please share it? TIA!
Thanks Jasee.
I've had one of the older ones running for years, now filled up with 2TB western digital green drives running Ubuntu server.
Fantastic machine can't fault them.
Mine is still at the received stage, placed order before 3pm 2 days ago and was wanting it installed tonight!
