HPE Gen8 Replacement

[swain90]

Hi All,

I currently have a HPE Gen8 microserver which I think is on it's way out. Drives keep dropping out of the array, however the disks pass diagnostics when placed in another pc. A little while I ago I also found out that one of the nvram chips was faulty so I think the issues I'm seeing now may be an extension of that

I'd like something of equal size/form factor as the gen8, ideally capable of having 4 drive bays or a minimum of 1x 2.5"ssd and 2x 3.5" hdds.

My gen8 still had the stock CPU as I was after something lower powered and would like the same for my new build.

One of my main bug bears with the Gen8 is that I hate how long it takes to start with all the bios server checks etc... so wanting to go down the pc based mobo architecture.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Swain90
