Storage The HP Micro Server Thread

Soldered CPU, no ILO, no internal SD slot.

32GB is nice, but the rest is a step back :/

I wonder if they noted the G8 was cannibalising their entry level "real" server sales, even with the 16GB limit?

Not really a weak point... an embedded "RAID Controller" is what it is. There's a reason there's the standard P222 option. I would imagine the Marvell controller in the G10 will be largely similar to the B120i

 

Had a bit more of a look today, cpu is coming in at around 5k in passmark, not sure if this is good or bad,

overall looks like a reasonable lab machine if priced right ...

Allegedly they will be just short of £400 without any 'cash back'
IMHO I think this is a major step back, though the specs are capable for small business they have just priced themselves out of general sales for non-business.
I'd be surprised if they have any cash back to start with, when sales start failing, then the price will come down and a cash back will be added.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they see a marked fall in sales with the new Gen10 specs and then go back to what they were doing on the next versions or the intel versions if they do a gen10 with intel chipset
