Reviews:

Nice home server, but installation is VERY tricky
Already it possesses a Infrant ReadyNAS, that it is working flawlessly for in a year. I have had need of a sense to support that box it, so as to I have thought that this was one good option. More, the support of the PC has played large. I have spold the first 12 hours that try to convince the software of the WHS connector in order to install. I must have uninstalled it and it reinstallato 5 times, with the ristabilimento of the assistant 3 times. The solution? YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE CONNECTS YOU To the INTERNET DURING the INSTALLATION Of the SOFTWARE Of the CONNECTOR. If and fairies to allow DDNS in your modems of cable/dsl, you run an elevated risk a lot of association of the wrong IP address to the name of the assistant (like). A lot to a minimum, you must make sure that DDNS is disabled. This in the instructions has made to put M$ in the first place, I would have conserved a swept day of around with the problems of the installation. Once that this was resolved, the box it works large. The support of the PC is the better characteristic, continuation from the compartecipazione of fotoricettore of yours to satisfy. The configuration of this is much intuitiva for that it has been around to the computers at all. Also debuttanti would have to be able to calculate it outside, poichè the HP has a wizard that guides you through the important parts of the putting to point. Dò to the implantations 5 stars and the operating system of WHS 3 stars. A star for the problem of the installation (happened obtains has berthing on two different computers) and MOREOVER a STAR FOR an EDITION of CORRUPTION of DATA OBTAINS HAS BERTHING that is a defect confirmed in the operating system. Basically, if used this to the PC of the support and the lime of the part, you will be fine. If you have only a drive installed in it, you are immune to the defect. If published the lime stored on this and used is some of other applications of the Microsoft like the office, YOU WILL OBTAIN the CORRUPTION of DATA. That is an enormous problem for Microsoft and the square of development of WHS rimescolando for one difficulty. The inferior line is that you must never have only one copy of the lime important. It supports them until 2 or 3 it arranges different.


Simply great!



Outstanding multi-purpose device for home / small office use
Absolutely I love this device. I had considered a Drobo seriously before that you saw this and you bought this for several reasons preferibilmente. Put simply, it can make the things that Drobo cannot. - champion with Ethernet of gigabit (this coast $200 additional with Drobo comes), - he is behaved like an assistant of lima (with the duplication of the level of the device of bending) and protection similar of offering data of to Drobo, - it automates the daily supports of all the PC (Windows working) in the house - similar to the cap of time of the Apple for the mac, - it act as from ITunes/assistente of means - to carry music, the photos and the films during the house. Two claims - I wish that I could change the name of workgroup of defect of this device (change the functionality of the product) and do not augur this the supplied functionality of the press assistant.


Very nice! Nice and simple
I got the server with 2 things in mind:

1)NAS (Network Attached Storage) capabilities. I wanted to be able to save all my files (movies,music,photos, etc.) in an external hard drive but since my main computer is a laptop, I did not want to be attaching the hard drive every time I wanted to save something. This baby attaches itself to your router, may I recommend the D-LINK DIR-655, and wala! you can save wirelessly to the box.

2)Automatic back-up. I needed to back up the contents of my laptops automatically cause lets face it, we're all lazy when it comes to backing up. It's always a chore. The server works much the same way as TimeCapsule for the Mac does. It backs up your stuff automatically without you even noticing it. The back-up policies are configurable so you'll be bound to find a back-up of a few days ago and another one for a few months ago. Also, I should note that the back-ups are incremental, this means that only the files which are new or have changed are backed-up. This is important because eventhough your first back-up may take a matter of hours (depending on how much space you're trying to back-up) every subsequent back-up won't 're-back-up' the stuff that it's already in the server.

For reference, I kicked off the second back-up immediately after the first one finished, and it took about 7 minutes to realize nothing had changed. It seems like a long time but remember that it was scanning and checking every file in your system which for me is about 100 Gigs.

Of course, the MediaSmart server offers lots of other stuff which I won't get into since you can get that info elsewhere, but if you're main reasons to look at this puppy is for NAS capabilites and Automatic Back-Ups, you can't go wrong with the HP MediaSmart Home Server.

And for those of you wondering if you should get the 1TB version, seriously, do you really need it? I would say buy this one and wait until Hard Drive prices drop. I'm sure the drive prices will drop by the time you actually 'really' need the extra space.


Cannot Find Server!
Assistant DOA. Fed on the ndemnity, but when he tries to connect the assistant to my net with the software of the connector, it is my table that mine laptop has not been able to find the assistant. I have spold nearly 2 hours with the technical support of the HP that tries to connect this assistant the saturday and still I have not obtained to them that they work. When I have called behind monday in order to see if fornissero a solution, they have made to make me to work the disc of recovery of the assistant for regulating the assistant of new to spec. of the factory. Making that one, finally I could connect! All in all, hour that is working I up to now I am satisfied with that what this product offers. Hour I have all mine lime that use on the assistant that I can make to work between is my table that the laptop. And it has approached all mine lime on the assistant from all the connected calculating Internet. It has occorr a moment in order to calculate it outside, I have calculated that the software was DOA, but was not going to of atomic crews the assistant with the disc of recovery until that the HP did not say to make it to me. And the technology of the HP came from the America.... not a country of the third world like others.


Very pleased
I have had for several weeks now and am very pleased. My primary requirements were:
1) a device that would back up my computers daily
2) a device that would be the central depository for our extensive media collection (while also backing up that collection).
3) GigE connection
4) Capability to expand

SUMMARY: Overall, I am very pleased. Now that the price of storage is so cheap (1TB drive for ~$250), there really is no longer any excuse not to back up your systems. And, this server has the capability to perform much more than just back ups.

PROS:
Set up was very easy for me. In less than 20 minutes I had it up and running (and I am the first to admit I am not very tech savy). I was using a new HP desktop with Vista for the initial setup connected via GigE LAN. I then encountered no probs connecting wirelessly with my Hp laptop running XP pro.

I like that the front end software makes it idiot proof. My sons can easily access the centrally stored media and I don't have to worry about them messing something up. However, using the Remote Desktop feature I can perform more significant adminstrative tasks ... (for example I used the RDP feature to adjust the power settings so the server would shut down after 30 minutes when it recognized the UPS was running on battery--I have my UPS connected to the server via one of the USB connections).

Very easy to add additional storage.

The backups are smaller than I expected them to be.

I am using my Xbox 360 as my media extender. It has no problems "seeing" the media I have stored on the server via a wirelss connection from 100ft away.

CONS:
After initial set up my transfer rates were not as steller as I expected (~10M/s for a 6Gig file--which is still better than other available home storage options I found/tried). After some tweaking with both my desktop and the server I now have the avg write rate to the server up to 16M/s with both the media server and duplication functions turned on). I have 2-500G Seagate drives, a 1TB WD GP drive and a 250G external seagate in the storage pool. After reading some of the various forums the "tweaks" that I have done thus far include:

Server tweaks:
1) updating the windows default driver in the server to the current SIS driver
2) Increased RAM to 2G

Desktop tweaks:
1) installed Intel GT/Pro GigE NIC

Network tweaks:
1) Cat 6 cables
2) Ensure flow control and jumbo frames were turned on

Again, the server was performing well out-of-the-box but I have a lot of large video files so I wanted to increase the transfer rate.




Excellent Product
I have installed the past year this assistant November and has been therefore large and therefore smooth currents. Yes, it is much easy one to obtain it that it goes. And yes, it really systems. I have installed 3 additional HD with 1TB (Seagate) to the maximum towards the outside the bays of the drive and has recognized endured. We use this assistant in order to store the voluminosa accumulation of our professional photos, the plans of job. We have is mac that the PC in our store and in all can at all accedergli without some difficulty. Highly it suggests this product.


It is what it is...
That is a large product if the watched ones for that what is - a simple one, uncomplicted, domestic assistant. It supplies domestic a solution simple in order to support your PC, it allows you share lime both in the country on your net and via the Internet and it allows that effluiate lime audio and video your TV or arranges domestic servant of the theatre via xbox. This system is not a sturdy one, centers them electrical worker of an assistant - and it is not meant in order to be. The putting to point is much easy one. I have had the unit unboxed, connected and supporting the PC on my domestic net in more less than 30 minuteren. The support begins them is necessary a sure time, but the processes are assign in order to make to you to work every night. The supports have completed of night while I have slept. After the supports it begins them, the system will only try the lime changed for all the supports succeeded to you. The supports of day two have more less occorr than 9 united minuteren for all and 3 the PC on the net. The access at a distance works well, but it has read the fine press before the purchase of the this unit. The access at a distance is only available with determines systems to you operated to you. It will only work with means version concenta 2005, or Seen last or more on. It does not work with domestic Prize of the Sight! The system comes with 1 free year of service with [... ] and the domestic software of the assistant of Windows installs all for you. I have had an edition with access at a distance which had the configuration of the router of defect from my ISP. If you have a DSL modem, you will have to assess that the modem is not shaped in order to act as from router. One simple call to my technical support of the ISP has helped it to throw a bridge on the router and to connect at a distance. A lot has occorr 15 minuteren - not painful. The assistant of the itunes is large. With some releases in order to allow the lima that ripartisce on every PC on the net, I could share my library of itunes with all the PC on the net _ while it arranges sped with 1 500 hard GB drive, it pot to be easy, and economic aggiorn. I have bought two additional drives from 500 GB for $99 everyone to the city of the circuit. You hardly open the hatch to the assistant, rimuovete flowing towards the outside the tray of the drive, inserted the drive, aim the tray and the system makes the rest. Hour I have 1,5 TB of storage that would have more to be than enough for my needs. With access at a distance you can connect to your domestic PC from all the connection of the Internet. It seizes one lima, the images of the part, etc. It works at a distance like pure whichever software of access on the market. Selo trusts, I has them tries all to you. Great effluenti systems of the video also. Travel for the commerce and I have learned a cold trick. While connected to my domestic net, I have found that I could watch videos on mine laptop in the my room of the hotel approaching my video archiviata accumulation that has been left again on the assistant. The hotel pag-in order to the sight costs to $8.00 a film. It has saved the little moneies. Much cold! I very rarely estimate stars of product 5 but a lot is satisfied with the performances of this assistant. It maintains your expectations concentrated around that what this product has been destined in order to make and will find that it carries out very well. Highly I suggest it for the price! MODERNIZATION: I was too much express with the review of 5 stars... Three weeks after the installation of the assistant who has begun to overheat itself. The assistant has begun to work centigrade to 61 degree (142 degrees of farenheit) when the detailed lists declare that the temperature of the system would not have to exceed centigrade 35 degrees (95 degrees of farenheit). The recommendations in the supplied documentation have not resolved the heat problem (would have to that being a red small flag that the software has been destined in order to control and to perceive of editions of the heating)? (sounds as the HP has known that us they can be design defects). The calls to the technical support of the HP have not supplied resolution and finally the temperature editions are said to in order giving back me to the box it poichè were regarding implantations. Fortunately, Amazon gratis has one political of return of 30 days and really sent me one scato it of the rimontaggio with 1 transport of day. However, the new assistant has carried the new challenges. The new assistant inizializzerebbe and the program of the installation would not jump itself to a screen of access word even if an access word had not been installed on the box it. After that several trying you to re-establish the assistant to the relative defect that rule via the recovery software, I finally replaces the hard drive of the factory with an other Seagate 500 GB of drive. I have rifared the recovery software and I could immediately inizializzare the assistant. The part bizzarra is, then I have added the drive originates them of the factory of new to the assistant while according to drive, formattato it and it have worked without edition. It was the really defective drive, it has had a defective installation of the software, or is bugs in the software of the assistant there? Who knows? , therefore up to now good, but it has been only in service for 24 hours. The inferior line is that while creed that the box has it upgrades them excellent, is defects in the design (the unit overheats - a problem that creed has had to the formed small of the box it and of the heat that is accumulateed when you add the additional hard drives) and the software can calm have some bugs. I will watch with attention the performances and the temperatures of new assistant over the three next weeks. If encounter still the heat editions, I will still give back to the box it and I will try an other alternative.


Great Product from HP
Large Product. It was much easy one to install and to shape. The enclosed software walks you thruogh the entire process. I have made some to turn out editions, that one for being connected with the refractory walls of the software on my PC has taken the calls of the brace to the HP, but finally I have calculated it outside. I suggest the EX470 as you can easy add to an other drive 500GB (or greater) more subsequently and perhaps in order little moneies that the difference.

Completely satisfied, but cautious at the same time



Very easy setup, great device.
I was suprised how small it actualy is. Took about 20 minutes to setup, the directions are good, the only part that took a little more time was setting it up for remote access. If you have basic networking skills as i do this was no problem although i should add that it probably depends a good deal on which router you have. Now i can access my files from work and i am sharing my pictures with my friends and family. The automatic back up is great. Got the 500 gig and added more drives to save money (very easy). I am looking into doing the RAM upgrade (search google for directions). 512 seems a little low, but the server is nicely responsive i will have to see after i add some "add-ons" if it stays that way.
Overall i am very happy with HP and Microsoft. I didnt know i needed a home server but now i can never live without one.


The #1 Key to home networking!
The Hp Mediasmart server was a "no brainer" to set up and use. The instructions are easy to follow, and almost un-needed. Thank you Microsoft and Hp for the 1st really useful home server system.

Absolutly no support from HP
I have a file copying and deleting problem with this server. There is (as mentioned in another post ) no email or chat support for this product. The phone support is really bad....After several attempts and reroutes nad about 40 minutes of being shuffled between desktop and business server support I was put on hold with an announcement in french and after another 10 minutes connected to a pocket PC support tech. He said that all the mediasmart techs were very busy and that he didn't know why I had been connected to him. He created a case number and told me they will call back, but I doubt this will happen.
My guess is HP has bitten off more than they can chew in trying to support this OS. I would advise anyone looking at this to buy a generic box and buy Windows Home Server directly from Microsoft where there might be some hope of support. (If you buy this product you are forced to use HP support


this item really needs work
this article was much hard one to install has assumed it the direction of 20 calls to the servicing, in it in if an arduous experience, in order to obtain it that it works less that you were many give savvy of the calculating this a passage. on purpose still we are having problems with the connection for the automatic characteristic of support also, if dice of the calculating, like one of ours you made after that we have installed the system, YOU CANNOT OBTAIN CLEARLY To the SUPPORT MADE FOR THAT CALCULATING from OTHER COMPUTERS On the JOB. in short the support characteristic it is really worthless! I would not never buy anthing from the HP still.


HP EX470 MediaSmart Home Server Excels.
I have bought FORMER the 470 MediaSmart domestic assistant of the HP to the December beginning and the a lot pleased with the device; it makes exactly that what has promised to make. The device in if a lot is planned in beautiful way quiet, and would seem good where you never put it. The HP has not installed the support of the email the unit however but the free support of the telephone worked much good for me, after navigation through the menu that of voice they have been connected to the technical support in India (task) as soon as I have given they the model number have been reconnected to the support of the telephone of the United States, in which a technician has not answered to my question in the minuteren. The entire process of putting to point could not have been tiny of the return and easier only. Installing the software on the computers of the customer, XP and Sight they were easy pure. The ability to the customer to construct a library centers them of means and of music on the assistant it is a great point of sale for this unit. The HP has added an pleasant application in the relative software of the part of fotoricettore of the photo that allows that you share your photos on a sure Web site with the members of the family wherever and that allows to add them their own pure photos; while controlled the level of allowed of all your hosts. The only problem up to now is a Security Certificate that is be obtained from Microsoft, signed from GoDaddy.com. The certificate reveals like being a disowned Certificate Authority when used the service of TZO.com DNS that the HP has been contracted with. This problem can be handled with Firefox like "exception" and with the safari and "it has been trusted the place" but I have not been able dumb the warning with IE7, installing the certificate in my warehouse of confidence do not even succeed to satisfy the problem of error of the certificate. I have said my family to ignore the warning once this. Finally I love the fact that Microsoft has freed the SDK for the assistant to the sviluppatori in order to advise to the development of the adjunte for the application. Several adjunte have been developed already and are sure that more they must come. 7 January to CES, Microsoft has announced Feeding-packs 1 release for the first semestre of 2008 for the product. Feeding-it packs seems to be service-pack with the added additional characteristics. The will includes: The support of the bit of Sight 64 one current protests with some customers. Domestic improvements of the connector of the assistant of Windows with version control. The support the assistant adds to an other layer of support using a disc external. The improvements of access at a distance with resistance and additional archiviano drop. Wizard of reservoir of repair of the base of data in order to correct the contradictions. The administration of WHS feeding, has regulated the unit in order to sleep or the hibernate ones to the times predetermine to you. Means that ripartiscono, improvements to this application. The arrests add them, proteggono yours assistant from the applications badly written. More supported languages, the Chinese and the Japanese hour are supported. The domestic assistants are limit to you for transformarsi in in the great thing following in the digital center them, the HP that FORMER 470 are future a great investment in those.


Solid performance with great ease of management
I purchased this unit shortly before Christmas and am still getting used to new Home Server management capabilities. So far I am very pleased with the quality of the hardware, ease of management and performance. I just added a second 500GB drive last night. Literally took me 3 minutes to pop it into an unused tray. Slid it into the chassis (without having to do a shutdown or restart) and it was instantly recognized. A few clicks of the mouse and it was available storage. Very cool! I will soon migrate all my media content to this device and use it for centralized media streaming. Can't wait!


Great Little Box...
The domestic assistant of the HP has worked "like fact publicity to". The assistant has signed on domestic mine router, has loaded the software with the customer and was in service. Moreover I have installed three hard drives additional insides 400GB for additional capienza of reservoir and was one I crack. Large small box, highly I would suggest it.


Almost....if you do not need x64 support
I purchased the MediaSmart Server mainly as a repository of my extensive(320+) GB photography collection. It is meeting that need perfectly. I can access any of the pictures easily from any computer in the house.

I set it up from my laptop running Vista x86 and it was very easy. I was able to schedule backups of that machine. My problem is that I have since swapped out my hard drive and now run x64 for which there is NO support from Microsoft. They have said they will announce their x64 plans at CES in January. This is ridicolous.

I was hoping to be able to use my Xbox360 as a "Media Extender" like I could if I had the data residing on a Vista machine, but as of now the server can only send data to it as a shared folder...so the functionality is not where I would like for videos.

I am also using the server to host my media collection(350 CD's) and it does great. I have all my computers set up for the Media Server Music folder to be the default folder in Windows Media Player and can stream music throughout the house.


Perfect Fit
Great product. Automatic backups are fast and simple. Ability to restore previous versions of files in addition to deleted files is fantastic. The physical box is much smaller than I thought it would be.


HP home server
Installed easily and seems to work just fine for the intended purpose...sharing files. It seems to do pretty much what other Windows servers do save for web site hosting, centralized internet access, and other such things, usually not needed in a home or small office setting.
I have experience with Windows servers, and the set up could be done by most computer users INHO.


Excellent product in a well rounded package.
A lot impressed with the domestic assistant, hour I have had it for approximately 4 weeks and I love it. I have added some additional drives and I have approximately 1.5TB of space. The duplication of the data works fantastic and using JungleDrive it leaves it to have part of the mind for my critical articles us like the photos and the lime personal. It cannot think to a better sense to make this, ringrazia Microsoft and the domestic assistant of Windows!


Dead on Arrival
I am generally a big fan of HP products (the computer I'm using right now is an HP) but I was sorely disappointed when I went to set up the HP EX470 on Christmas morning to find out it was "dead on arrival". When I contacted HP about it they told me that they were aware of the problem (4 red lights on the hard drives) but they don't have a replacement process in place so the only remedy is to contact the store I bought it at and ask for a replacement, which isn't much comfort since the EX470s are currently on backorder.


A Microsoft product that works - REALLY WELL
It is hard to describe how much happy one are approximately this product without to play like a idiot. In the first place of all the fundamental principles; it is an observing device pleasant. It is MUCH calm one and to tie is pleasant and simple; feeding and Ethernet. It is included in the box the device, the cables that you have need of, with of obtaining CD' s and a under way guide. On the posterior part it is an orifice of eSATA (not indicated in the photos of the Amazon or not pointed out), 3 orificii of the USB in order more storage and an orifice of the USB on the front part. Inserted the your net, installed the CD and you are good to go. No sciocchezze around with the activation of the product, no putting to tiny point 30. The software; he is spectacular. Microsoft has rendered this easy one to use without to cure appreciate them one foolish. The putting in work has shared the storage and to program a support could not be easier. If you must never re-establish, therefore I crack just in the enclosed CD of the loading of the system in the machine and in it of objective them lascerete to re-establish the supports memorizza you on the assistant. (or 1Tb) the drive 500Gb is very well for the greater part of people, but in my case I have added a po' more than drives. Just cracked them in the crib, fairies to slide them in the assistant and selected "you add" in the control panel. It automatically transforms them in a great drive that you can approach to You can then select in the control panel that the indices you wish in order to duplicate (the mirror) and will make one copy of reservoir on one of the other drives. If you must never remove a drive, lascerà them to copy satisfying on the other drive(s) before making therefore. An other cold characteristic is the assistant of the iTunes; it will copy your local library of the iTunes on the assistant in the previous ones so as to to free spaced on your PC and you have an accessible assistant of the iTunes of the net on yours lan. All in all and $577 SINK the SPOLD one. There are other solutions towards outside here (Drobo, Infrant, FreeNAS) but this they integrate perfectly in Windows and they are in my opinion the better value for moneies.


Awesome!
Everyone else has pretty much summed this up very well. I've been a WHS user since the beta version for the past 6 months. This little HP box is about the size of a regular coffee maker. It is VERY quiet, but not silent.
The install process is very easy also.
Overall, I couldn't be more happy.


Remote Access Doesn't Work With Vista Home Premium
The system great but it seems that characteristic of access at a distance of you it cannot be used less that you are a last one, customer of transactions or, of enterprise of Sight. That is limitation of the Microsoft not one limitation of the HP. The HP is rather to the colpe poichè has not found this from no part in the documentation and you will not discover this defect until that you do not buy it. Dò a star because the access at a distance to my PC was the reason that I have bought the assistant. Alas, cannot less be made than a modernization.


Great hardware with a great product!



Absolutely Awesome (and simple)
I just received the server yesterday after having it overnighted. I was so stoked to be getting it. I was able to set up the server, install the software, configure the remote access, guest accounts and permissions within minutes. I work in the software industry so I have a little bit more know-how than someone who doesn't but it was still pretty easy - except for configuring the router (more on that in a minute) for remote access.

The box is just so cool - the lights and being able to control the brightness is sweet. I placed it on my desktop it's so small and quiet. This has to be one of the best NAS devices available (and is smaller and more stylish than anything else out there). I'm planning on adding three 1 TB drives tomorrow to increase the storage.

One of the first things I did was copy my music library and photos to the server and also a couple of DVD's that I ripped (yes, legally). I have an XBox 360 attached to one of my TV's upstairs and I was able to immediately browse to the box, play my music and have a photo slide show running with no work at all (literally I just had my XBox search the network and it found the MediaSmart server and I didn't have to do anything at all).

So, my two complaints: I have a full network running at home with a Windows Server 2003 domain which has Routing and Remote Access enabled which then plugs into my router and then into my cable modem. Using the auto configure router just doesn't work. I suspected I would have issues but it was still annoying. Still, that only took a few minutes to overcome.
My next issue is usernames. Because you can't join the MediaSmart server to a domain I can't use my username/password to log onto it. The instructions say to create the same username and password, but doesn't let you use the domain username (the username on the client keeps resolving to the domain). So, you have to create a different username. It's a minor nit and I know why Microsoft did it that way, but it's still a pain.

Aside from these two minor, minor items, I LOVE this NAS!!!!


HP EX470 MediaSmart Server good and bad
Had good experience setting up and getting it running. Had one issue on first install because the setup is so SLOOOOOW. Once I learned to just go get a cup of coffee and give it time it was ok. I had to deinstall and reinstall the admin software.

Imagine my surprise when I installed the client SW on all my machines then when I fired up my laptop it demanded a password! Since all 7 of my home computers are single user I never use passwords. But now we do because WHS demands that they be used and by installing the HP software on a client it magically now requires a password to use the machine.

It appears to me that on all "my" machines where I use the userid of Rob, WHS set up the start up page of my computers to demand a password for the first time. On the wife's machine since her USERID matches her WHS account, it now demands that she enter her WHS password in order to gain access to her laptop. A little feature.

Also, I discovered that logging on to the admin for WHS is totally different than logging on as a user. In fact, I have been logged on to both at the same time many times from ALL of my networked computers. If I am logged on to one computer then log on as admin on another computer it terminates the session on the first and creates a new one on the second one. Once I figured out the difference I was ok but till I figured out this little feature it was interesting.

I treat the box as hot swappable and just left it running while I added or subtracted drives. I installed two unformatted WD .5TB drives to go with the factory .5TB drive it came with. They dont show up in the user account but do show up in the administrator account as unused. I sellected them, added them and within a few minutes (surprisingly quickly) the added 1TB of space showed up on my user account. I then added a 160 MB drive and same experience. Two days later, I received another .5TB drive from New Egg and in the admin account told the Server to empty the 160MB drive and left it alone for half an hour. When I came back, the now reduced total drive space showed up as a single number in my user acccount and the admin account showed the 160MB drive unused. I swapped out the 160 for the .5TB drive and within a few minutes it showed up, I added it in the admin account and it showed up in my user account as added space to the virtual single drive. Very easy and quickly done.

I have 200+ movies in ITUNES and am on the way to 600+ so I need a lot of space and it needs to be expandable. This little box does that very nicely. My migration plan is to continue to migrate to 1TB drives in the future when the price point gets where I want it or I really need the space.

I hoste ITUNES on my quad-core server to 3 AppleTVs but have outgrown the HD space on that server. So the ITUNES library is hosted on a separate 1TB NAS. I use the HP EX470 MediaSmart Server as the backup and share point for the growing ITUNES library file.

The good news is that the HP SW went out and found the existing ITUNES library and imported a copy to HP EX470 MediaSmart Server (sloooowly but surely). The bad news is that the HP ITUNES SW does not look below the album layer in the ITUNES library. ITUNES saves all added movies as MPEG4 files INSIDE a "Movies" album folder in ITUNES library. This works fine for ITUNES but . . HP EX470 MediaSmart Server does not look below the folder level (album) so once it does an import it treats the "Movies" folder in my master ITUNES library as "old" and does not import any movies added below the movies folder level.

I use CUSOFT to convert my DVDs to MPEG4 and drag them into ITUNES. I have now started dragging imported movies to both ITUNES on the quad-core server and to the "Movies" folder in HP EX470 MediaSmart Server and it works just fine. Would be nice if HP could actually fix this little problem but

Another little feature is the ITUNES share folder in HP EX470 MediaSmart Server saves imports from each separate computer in to a unique folder created internal to the HP EX470 MediaSmart Server ITUNES share folder. It does not apparantly create a single integrated ITUNES library. It does save off the ITUNES data files that you can then point to from any ITUNES client and play.

I also discovered that HP EX470 MediaSmart Server is not found by the wife's laptop that is connecting through a wireless hub. (Apple Extreme) All ethernet linked boxes find it just fine. I am going to have to reconfigure my network by connecting the Apple Extreme hub to my 24 port switch and see if that works. BUT I can connect using the web interface from the laptop over the wireless. If I enter the HP EX470 MediaSmart Server IP into Internet Explorer it comes right up. You can get at data (photos) but with that interface you do not get all the photo management features.

Once I discovered this little feature I then logged on to my HP EX470 MediaSmart Server as 1) admin, 2) user and then brought it up in the 3) web interface. Very interesting. But it still will not connect up through my COMCAST SMC8013WG modem.

MY BITCH ABOUT HP EX470 MediaSmart Server is that HP basically has no viable support for the device.

I tried to do email support and its not available.

I tried to do online support and its not available.

I tried online support and with the exception of FAQ you can't get any support from the HP website.

So I called. And I got a person who spent 10 minutes creating an support account and trouble ticket then transferred me to . . . nowhere.

I had a great deal of difficulty understanding the individual who while very nice and caring does not speak the same version of English that I have for 60 years. Not being critical but unless you feel very comfortable with figuring out this little box on your own . . . getting any support from HP is problematical at best.

I have yet to find a way to feed back to them the issue with ITUNES even.

Having said that, I LOVE this little box so far. It does everything except share folders online which is probably a unique problem to my situation. It connects to the internet ok as a client but will NOT communicate as an FTP site for photo sharing.


Great box. Needs more memory!
This is a pretty good server. I was unhappy with the memory limitations (the box was pretty slow). However, with a little bit of memory upgrade I was able to do things like run sharepoint and wsus.

The console of this server is MUCH more responsive with the memory, I can't stress this enough. You can go to http://homeserver.netartifex.com if you want to see how to do the upgrade. For 69 bucks and a 2G stick of ram it can't be beat.

In all you can add hard drives to your hearts content. I highly recommend going all SATA if you can afford it. Today that means you can squeeze 4TB inside the chassis!

The plastic is a little flimsy so be careful when putting new hard drives in.







Awsome product makes life too easy
That is a large device. I have abundance of the picts and music. Moreover I have computers seveal to the house. Therefore the characteristics of the support automatic rifle are "the bomb". (it is that antiquated one) im not more hippest on last cliches but on this the assistant on the review of the hip of geek the highest currency. Relative the large one because you do not have to be a rocket more scientest to calculate it outside. the greater part is made from himself. Moreover you can add the addins in order to add still to more value to the box it. I have droped 2 750 additional hard drives of the gig in it. I will not have to preoccuparsi for space in order at least a year are my conjecture. The relative one to pleasant enough. it is a lot attractive I leaves it in the room living with mine others componets. theres a cold egg of Passover that you can change the lights on the machien in order to make all the species of the pattens cold. Highly I suggest.


Not ready for prime time
This product does not have to wait for for main time. Here they are the specifics. The HP has a problem with "SOME" switches. We have tried 3 switches (station of wifi of gigabit of vision of Belkin and two switches of the dlink). We could only make a connection of the administration with the oldest switch of the dlink. The support of said customer this was an edition that they were observing in but that one could not indicate to some good known products that we could use. Basically with two people who work to this for 6 hours and small it supports and followthrough from the support that of customer has been given back. The written one of installation entire is automated and the advanced out of order analysis does not hold account at all real. Moreover not really it has leaves them inovate to try and to obtain the operation you of what. A good idea that we have obtained was to use the characteristic desktop at a distance of the connection of the windowsto enters in the box it. You will have to be able to regulate the word of access of admin but if you have had the putting to point in order to once work the customer who of admin the name is "coordinator" and then the access word you have installed through the wizard of installation. To align they are disappointed and I will be much happy one when this produced beta sends like waiting for for the assistant of main time.


Amazingly Simple Setup
From the implantations to the software this child oscillates. That would have to be the operating system Microsoft says, "SPEED DISTORTION!" approximately. From the box it to in service with the supports it shapes to you on three computers has occorr approximately 30 minuteren. The implantations are constructed thought good and sink. The assistant is po' a more high and more widely of my means times of the HP, but not like in depth. The general look is an pleasant part much and professional one of implantations. The added one of the additional hard drives is a breeze and can be made without to close the assistant down. The better part is all resembles it of storage to a space; no hypothesis where a lima it has been conserved. The external drives can also be added to the pond of storage via orificii of 2,0 USB and an orifice of eSATA. From the side of the software, there is the software of the connector that is installed on every PC of the customer and then on the operating system of the real assistant. "the section commandos" of the domestic assistant can be approached from all the PC of the customer. Here all the every day administrative functions of the assistant can be controlled from a simple interface. The additional possibilities are available through the connections of thirds party in this section commandos. For deepened administrative job more you can use a connection desktop at a distance directly in order to approach the operating system like any other calculating of Windows. Nightly the posterior one increases is fast and efficient. You can specify how many copies of daily paper, of the weekly magazine and monthly the posterior part increases the assistant would have to maintain. That one downside is an inability of regulating the periods of reservoir for the specific computers here. The previewed time is for all the computers, benchè a tiny warning five appears and allows the customer to face to delay a support for an hour. In a generalized manner, this is an incredible calculating and to it must for the multiple families of the PC and small the offices (until to 10 computers) that they have need of the storage and of the supports automati to us centralizes to you.


Finally!
I have been looking for a system to manage my media and files. The problem is finding affordable NAS servers. This worked like a charm!

The good:
It's compact - The HP pic makes it appear larger than it is
It was up and running with in less than a half hour
Adding additional 1TB drives was a snap (easy no tool required)
Easy setup for alternative computers (not using the software)
Quite & the lights are controllable

The Wish list:
It would have been nice to allow the console to install a printer Having multiple computers running with a central printer is a great option (can be installed if logged into the actual server). You can access the server with Remote Desktop, be warned read the MS notice on what not to do. Apparently they did not remove some standard Windows Servers applications and if used (user manager, disk manager, shared folders, data access) the server will get broken...

There are a bunch of add in's that are coming out already more are certainly going to come out...

Fun fact:

Easter Egg's; HP has hidden a unique little feature. When in the server console (Media Server tab) press your shift - control - alt and click on the picture of the media server. A Easter egg will appear allowing you to select different light patterns for the front display.

Great little device!



Microsoft should be proud of their work, and a pretty HP box too!
In the first place, they are programmatore that works from the center, with one sure skill in the installation of the usable domestic net. This box small it allows it resumption to the external within when they are on the road, replaces some drives of NAS, facilitates the support and music and photo of the part. There is only a REAL claim LARGE that I have and that it is working with 64 arranges of the bit. I will enter in that one... I have added 3 drives 1TB to this in the minuteren without to close the system down. The slitte of the drive they are many innovarici, poichè do not demand tools to use. Just necessity to raise a handle, you extract slips and you arrange it the new HD in for means of the hinges that flettono in order to hold the HD on the place. Then you replace hardly the drive in the relative bay and blocked the lever/handle on the place. Visually, there is a light for every drive that will show them that it is waits for for use. You must use the section WHS commandos in order to add the drives to your storage puts into effect them and the light goes from viola to the blue - and is waits for in order to use. That what is cold is here that your customers do not see 4 drives different, but hardly 1 with all the space like if the drive they puts into effect is developed automatically. If wished to replace a drive with greater capienza, is simple pure. Used the section commandos in order to remove the drive. When rimuovete a drive, WHS will copy the data outside of that drive to the others (if they have room to make so as to) and then it says to you when it is sure to take apart it. Before this, I was using 4 centers of the professional of gotomypc in order right under the $600. 3 for mine blot and 1 for my moglie. I have obtained for level because I have wished to train all centrally the boxes them. My moglie is not definately technical like is, but it has need to it of the access lime from job and the house (works in more high and and moreover it is working to its landladies). Using the parts of the net and the interface of fotoricettore, more it must not count on its laptop that it is over with the operation of the gotomypc. Calm external resumption can within if its laptop it is over, but hour can obtain lime that it has need of and the public one on the job. And it transmits them behind so as to always she has dawned. I am maintaining 1 customer of gotomypc active, because you cannot at a distance in a the 64 OS of bit from the fotoricettore interface currently. But the cost reductions nearly pay this solo here! I have three drives of NAS and two of they are going via like obsolete. Pricipalmente I have used them for support using the riesaminazione. Still that it maintains to the riesaminazione for my boxes them of Windows x64 and my customers of the linux, as the support I do not support 64 OS of the bit currently. I am supporting to the WHS with riesaminazione and is sostenenda to the other NAS. The WHS allows that you duplicate the parts to the multiple drives, so as to this is from then in a similar one that has 3 supports of the data. For the 32 customers of Windows of the bit, this support is near perfection. He is mindlessly simple to install and it maintains the supports multiple and automatically it unravels of those oldest ones if you have need of the space. The support mindless for 32 customers of the bit is paying easy the rest of the cost of this box it. Therefore for 64 customers of the bit, this cannot hardly be enough for you still. Microsoft has not declared that they are working to the customer of the 64 bit for WHS, but gives date of issue. Not as soon as they obtain this, it will answer very more best to my requirements. It is remoting that the support can be resolved for 64bit OSs if you have "know-how", so as to it is not terrible as some could make them, but is enough annoying that I have deducted 1 star for everyone. The ripartentesi functionality for music/video is really pleasant. _ two of the part the preesistenti be call you "music" and "video" and if have mean extender/XBOX360 concentr, reveal here poichè a center of mean with that what satisfy playable seem put here. It will not allow magical that you play iTunes the AACs, but all the disposition that your means center could play, will work. If you have iTunes - more value can add because you can make to generate the system a base of data of music from ALL blots some THEM of the customer of the iTunes. Use iTunes and so as to I make the my moglie, but this will not work for we because I would want to be able to directly use the index of music available to the iTunes for everyone of we, of way that is shares the same list of song that if it buys a song, therefore reveals in my library of the iTunes and can make a playlist with that song in it. That is * nearly * like works with the iTunes that ripartiscono here. I can see a system common called "assistant of the HP MediaSmart" but you cannot copy the songs locally and you cannot publish the playlists that it contains. The kind of bummer, but it can work for you. The fotoricettore application photosharing is an pleasant idea. You can make the album using the photos from your machine - but suprisingly you cannot select hardly from the part "of the photos" on the drive. Therefore if wished to make that - you must trace a drive to the part "of the photos" and choose them that sense. Much efficient one not to copy directly from the net rather than from the disc! You can then generate a list of people in order to share the album with and sent a message in order to watch your album. You can choose the customers who put into effect have installed them for access at a distance, or generate a profile of the host. That allows them transmits it to the grandma and it does not have to generate a customer on the assistant in if "of the grandma". Fact a lot pleasantly. An other small warning if is used TZO for dynamic DNS currently. You must call TZO in order to obtain your customer puts into effect correctly installed them on the box it.


Very nice - a few flaws
In the first place, this would have to be in all family in order to help the data of reservoir in regular way (and the lime of the part). Great and easy solution is one. That one saying, is two main points with it here: 1) disc and the data are not really redundant. In the theory, if a disc it comes to lack, you extract it simply and you put a new one within without loss of data. In truth, with WHS you must specify which wished devices you of duplicated bending. If and a disc it does not come to lack - you do not have idea that given you have lost! In the best one of the cases they render this thing easy how much Drobo where not taken care to this purpose. 2) silent supports. We pricipalmente use the laptops of use in our family that is disinseriti to the night. If lacked a support, I wish that it would hardly make it silently in the previous ones (like "the proactive supports" on riesaminazione of EMC), rather than cracking in on it informs all the time. Except that - this system has promised a lot and would have to be used for the supports from anyone with more than a calculating and one net!


Great technology!
This assistant is one breeze to install. The HP has made a job large that it facilitates the process of putting to point and I have had it to work in the minuteren. The possibilities of the domestic assistant of Windows are exceptional; the domestic supports of my PC and the ability to share the lime of the photo between the customers are therefore easy to install and to use. The price is good worthy it; anyone with more than a PC in the country and the lime of the support and the part of need a great technology for such use will find this.


Does not work with 64bit Clients!
All was observing in ahead to this box it the week. I obtain domestic servant from job, I insert it and I put the disc in my PC and... you cannot install the assistant of the HP MediaSmart on this version of Windows. Where it has said on amazon or the HP that is will not support 64bit? In no place! Except here after that wastes my time that obtains this box it http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01212412


HP QUALITY
I have owned and operated HP micro and mini computers since 1982. The name "Hewlett Packard" has for me always stood for quality (except when Compaq was acquired). I just got my EX470 direct from HP. Since the holidays are here I couldn't wait for a preordered unit from Amazon - so I paid a little more to get it direct from HP. [If you are not in a hurry then Amazon is the way to go - as I would not trust any other mail order house to order sophisticated electronics]. The EX470 is a one 500GB windows home server. The EX475 has two 500GB drives. I opted for the one 500GB drive so that I could fill the other 3 bays with 1 TB Seagates (7200.11) so that I could have 3.5TB of needed storage. [See Tomshardware dot com for a great review of those drives. If you are interested I ordered the drives for a great great price from NewEgg.] It is important that you have at least 2 drives in this unit to enable the server to make 2nd backup copies of important files that are backed up from your several PCs on your network, otherwise you risk losing your backup in the event that a hard drive on your server quits.

Anyway, the unit is a piece of art - you can't stick the thing in a closet - as it is too pretty! Very well made hardware. This is not a piece of plastic that rattles, rather it is tightly assembled, dense (surprisingly) and well, beautifully put together. Mark my words, you are getting far more for your money by buying this hardware than anything you have purchased for less than $600 in the past! I simply plugged in the power and the gigabit lan and presto - we're connected. After a minute or so system test you incert the appropriate discs into one of your networked computers and within 15 minutes you are up and running.

I have yet to configure the remote capabilities of the server and will wait until I understand what I am doing. One thing you don't want to do is make all your personal data available to anyone on the internet! So I will go a little slow in that department. Once I get my other Seagate drives on Monday I hope to add to this post. If for some reason I gave too many stars to this review I will make it known in that supplement that my opinion has changed. However I doubt that that will happen! :) Buy it - you'll like it.

UPDATE: OK it is now January 9, 2008. Since my initial review I have replaced the original Seagate 500GB drive with a 1TB Seagate 7200.11 one, and installed 3 other 1TB Seagate's in the other 3 bays. In addition, I have also added a Rosewill eSATA external HD enclosure and added another 1TB Seagate drive. Now I have 5TBs and I feel I will need more space after a year or so.

For those of you who are kicking the tires on this Windows Home Server, I would stick with HP. In a few more weeks both HP and Microsoft will be coming out with a series of software upgrades and enhancements. There will be features for you to actually backup all or part of your Windows Home Server. 64 bit clients as well as 32 bit clients will have complete functionality. Moreover, McAfee virus protection will be added on a 6 month free trial (which is good if you plan to do remote sharing). [Microsoft is also working on a fix of certain corruption problems people have had using certain software to edit and save to the server directly.] So far I am completely happy with my purchase. I am looking forward to the exciting new add-ins that will be available for this unit in the future. I would give this unit six stars if I could. :)


Amazing capabilities... and really fun to look at!
They have been divertimento of haivng with the this product for the past little days. The putting to point was a breeze - I was in service within under the half hour. I had felt at a distance to speak to some people in the domestic assistant about the windows beta having difficulty with access of putting in work, but it has worked very well for me. My favorite up to now characterizes... the continuous flow my music and videos from the assistant over to my Xbox 360. My according to favorite... that it has all the my PC supported automatically (and is fast - the supports every night return only some minuteren on mine 2 Sight and 2 XP PC). The access at a distance of the lima works as made publicity to but I wish that it has had a better interface... like the photo that ripartisce the app. that the HP includes. I will leave again more as game with it more, but up to now, is surpassed my expectations.
