Hi Team

Does anyone have a surplus or soon-to-be-surplus HP Microserver? I'll consider any generation. No drives required.

Cheers

I have a 658553-371 which google says is a 'HP ProLiant G7 N40L' sitting unloved in a cupboard which I would happily accept an offer on.

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup. Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

Cool.... I was hoping for a Gen8, but a Gen7 would be fine. Can you check the quantity of RAM for me, and flick me a PM please? No hurry at all on this. I'm away until Tuesday and unlikely to check email.

Just in case anyone is interested, HP Microserver Gen7 machines will take 16Tb drives. I'm not sure it would boot from a 16Tb drive, but we installed a 16Tb IronWolf disk for storage in a G7 this morning. :)

Sorry to piggyback on the back of this @Dynamic, but what is the going rate on MicroServers?

I'm a newbie to the serve-the-home crowd, but am also interested in picking one up for unRAID or the like

Just create two logical drives in the smart array a smaller one for boot and another for data it will appear as two “physical” disks to the OS

Thank you very much, @Lias. The Microserver arrived yesterday.

@ShinyChrome I make use of the TradeMe Expired Listings feature to work this out. I think it only shows the last 45 days listings.
