Overall Review:
I was very excited to receive this product, I am very excited to have this product, I am amazed at how much I could do with this product. All of that is dampened by the hoops I had to jump through to update the biuos. I will not go over the nonsense that is HP's policy but it is enough to dock 2 stars of a really nice little server.
I installed another 4GB ECC module I had on hand and installed ESXI 5.5 without issue. I spun up 3 VMs running "A NAS "Distro"", Centos 7 and windows 7. These provide what I call an SMB-in-a-box.
4x3TB RAID 5 array with continuous offsite backup.
Samba 4 Domain Controller (Windows Server 2003 compatible)
Admin PC running RSAT with other domain and storage management tools.
Very pleased with the hardware and hopefully I will never need to contact HP for anything in the future concerning this box. I would buy another if not for HP support.
