Does anyone have one of these to know if the 4 external drives have any size limitation? I am looking at a 1TB or 2TB to start. Don't see a limit on the HP site or in the manual.


What's the process of reinstalling the OS on these? I want to remove the hard drives and have it boot off iscsi. primarily to save the power of having a hardrive running.

don't know but look at the power consumption, it is pretty low!

28 Watts with 1 drive spinning. Can knock that down to below 20 Watts without a hard drive in it. That's almost 30% power savings. I need my SAN for other purposes and it's under-utilized... so I'm trying to use it to cut down power usage on all other desktops by using iSCSi and no internal hard drives.
