Most of the issues have been addressed
I bought this server on sale about two months ago and have not been disappointed with its basic functionality.

For PCs, it has worked flawlessly as an image backup server. More >>

DO NOT BUY THIS SERVER
My HP EX475 MediaSmart Server developed a loud noise after only 15 months. I was suprised to discover that HP DOES NOT OFFER POST WARRANTY SERVICE SUPPORT & DOES NOT PROVIDE PARTS FOR REPAIR. More >>

Does what it does well
I think the Home Server does what it does quite well. Easy to use and set-up to do the basics. For the more tech savvy folks, there seem to be lots of ways to get under the covers and extend the functionality to do more. More >>

Great product
First I have to say the Mediasmart Server did not work with my system out of the box. I have two desktop computers, a laptop, a xbox 360 and a Zune all connected to it. More >>
