HP ProLiant MicroServer

[Nimz]

Okay so I received the SSD today and planning to install once I get home

Going to clone the OS HDD to the SSD

Has anyone done this successfully?

Any issues to know about before I install the SSD?

Are you planning on putting that SSD into the 3.5" bracket? You may be in for a surprise to discover it won't fit when using the SSD 2.5" to 3.5" bracket that's sometimes included.

Any good cloning software so I don't have to do a fresh windows install? I tried Easeus it cloned the drive but doesn't boot up even when bios is settings are changed

 

[morkhans]

Clonezilla?

Get a Gen 8 MicroServer. I'm sure it comes with a raid controller.

Received my 4TB just now, quick question will it be supported on the N36L? (i.e. the full capacity of the drive)

Don't really want to partition

I think it will be fine if formatted in GPT and not your boot drive.

Anyone in the Bellville area that can help me with a key to open the microserver? Lost mine...

Or can one buy it separately from Esquire maybe?

 

[spiderz]

Will the N36L handel these new 8Tb's that out now?

Anyone with a Gen8 MicroServer needing more RAM, PM me. I have 4 x 8GB RAM modules that I'm not using as I sold 2 of my Gen8's.
