HP LX195 MediaSmart Server

We have received confirmation that on May 5, 2009 HP will officially be launching its next MediaSmart Server product, the single drive LX195 Windows Home Server. Designed as a budget, entry-level backup solution, the sub-$400 LX195 features [PDF Data Sheet] an Intel Atom 1.6GHz 230 processor, 1GB of DDR2 memory, and 640GB of storage which one can swap out for a larger capacity SATA I / II drive in the future. The new server, like its big brothers the EX485/EX487, is capable of supporting Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs, as well as, game consoles like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Other nice features include: Gigabit Ethernet, Sleep Mode (the LX195 will power itself down and consume only 3W of power when not in use), 4 USB 2.0 ports that be utilized for attaching external storage, and a svelte form factor measuring 3.90”(W) x 8.20”(H) x 8.00”(D).

    it looks good, however as a FORGOTTEN first generation mediasmart server owner in the UK I have zero intention of every buying a HP WHS again.... no second generation, no s/w updates and more than likely we won't see this also....even if it crawled or swam across the 'pond' i would browse it in the local PC store, but would walk away.....bitter......YOU BET!
  • Good news. HP will be releasing a server image on DVD that will allow you to update your first generation MediaSmart Server.
