Good Cheap Server - HP Proliant Microserver 4 BAY - OWNERS THREAD

Yep slow even on my N40L with 8GB RAM with WHS 2011 running on 64GB Crucial C300 SSD attached to StarTech 2 Port SATA 6 Gbps PCI-e card and with 8TB RAID5 storage attached to a HP P212 Smart Array Controller.

Even with a initial test build installing WHS 2011 with the supplied 250GB HDD it was slow and I was thinking once I install the 64GB C300 SSD and 6Gbps SATA card and with P212 + 4x2TB drives it will improve, nope, Though can't complain WHS2011 boots pretty fast and shutdowns/restarts very fast.

I've decided that I'm going to ditch WHS v1 and go down the WHS 2011 with Drivebender route.

I'm not convinced that my 3TB is actually being seen correctly by WHS v1 and also I want to be able to see 8GB RAM.

I have seen a new form at another retailer with the deal extended until the end of December, but haven't yet seen it on the HP site. So far I've held off ordering because I don't want to get caught out.
 
It's definitely been extended as the '+' guys have updated their site and emailed the new details, and they're not exactly selling just a couple of these things on the side ;)
 
Just heard back from another "e" retailer and they have confirmed the offer will be extended. Bargain.

What ram has everyone been using for these? Can I get this from OC? Would need 4 or 8 GB really.
 
sorry more questions about wol

microserver works very well with wol
but if you power the n40l off from the mains it fails to wol
i presume its somthing to do with the ip not being held in the nic card?

once its been powered up its works fine, only fails if its been turned off at the switch

any ideas? can it be solved?
