If they had added an m.2 slot even if it was only wired for x2 pci-e that would have easily made up for the removal of the 5th sata port.

Nice rundown, thanks! The old Opteron SoC was awful, glad to see that replaced Can't help but think the Epyc embedded line would've been a better choice than LGA 1151. Many people are asking "Can I upgrade this to 8 cores?", so it seems clear a 16C Epyc embedded option would have been popular.

Hi Ewen. We have the side-by-side teardown article on the STH main site (it takes a few minutes to propagate.) The full review we are aiming for around March 11. It is taking awhile since we are adding so much to the system and testing different configurations. Instead of making that review a comparison piece, we are moving the comparison to this separate piece.

I am glad they listened to their customers and implemented the changes we want and need.I didn't buy any Gen 10 servers (we were looking at 40 of them) due to the lack of ILO. The costs of sending someone on site was prohibitive. Not everything can be done on virtual servers in the cloud affordably. A lot of our offices are in small remote locations with little to no internet service.

just a tip for the next time you do one of these; you don't have to keep referring to the two servers by there full name over and over again, you can just call it "the original" and "the plus" or something like that so the audience knows which one you are referring to.

I'm most interested in seeing your follow-up, particularly with regards to the fifth drive. I too would like to see better processors tried, particularly the Xeon E-2278GEL if that is compatible. That said, I'm not so keen on your comparison with the old Gen 10 which was - for me - a waste of space; I'd rather see comparisons with the Gen 8.

Be advised if you get the Gen10 V2 version, it is a LGA1200 not LGA1151 socket.

It is a slightly different offset from the motherboard and according to HPE's block diagram it is not connected via PCIe. Stay tuned.

Use the Gen10 as a drive host and use a dedicated RAID controller (P222 or P420) or a HBA with external SAS connector to connect both machines. 8 drive pool, awwyis.

What 10 gbe card would you recommend for the gen 10?

With redundant power-bricks this thing would be a winner

Missed the mark again. These are mostly used for lab scenarios. The right microserver would be single socket up to 16 cores, up to 128 GB of RAM, 2x 10Gb + 2x 1Gb Ethernet. It needs to be designed to scale to supporting a full VMware or OpenStack cloud lab.

I use an adapter from Icybox i think it was called, that has it's own Sata and power interface on it and you mount the SSD inside so the adapter acts like a passthru

I currently switched my miniITX self-built server to a QNAP TS-253Be running the same SW (linux, no QNAP SW here) and the main thing I miss is ECC "peace of mind". But my drop from 40W idle(+1HDD) to 20W is huge for my 2-battery APC UPS. So, I have some questions: 1. what is the idle power consumption with 1 HDD? (with an ECC-enabled CPU) 2. you mentioned DP+Xeon problems....what combination could I get ECC+HDMI with a passive DP-HDMI adapter? Server is near my TV and would double as HTPC. 3. can iLO be completely disabled? My Gen8 microserver takes 5W as soon as I plug the power. Remote console is nice, but I'm looking at every W now.
