HP ProLiant Gen8 G630T 1P 2GB-U Non-hot Plug SATA 150W PS MicroServer
Any thoughts on what the specs will be? What does G530T and G630T represent? Thoughts?

The way it reads I dont think they are like enterprise class or anything or am I missreading?
It doesn't quite work like that. Getting any OS to work on a USB Stick isn't easy or should I say the OS needs to support technologies to make this happen.
I use FreeNAS and it only has an image that is readable. There are no major concurrent writes to the USB stick.
Truly it depends on the distro, some USB variants will use an image that is loaded into memory and therefore effectively a RAM Disk. Others have the OS and offload major read and writes to something else.
I love the concept of diskless OS. In General, distro's usually give an appliance like feel with some benefits, its easier, quick, appliance like, upgrade easy and resilient. For the application of Virtual Hosts and NAS solutions in my opinion it's the way to go. However it isn't for everyone and doesn't suit all needs. If you want a "General Server" that isn't an appliance, I'd go Disks.
Thanks to the pointer towards napp-it to go. This wasn't around 2 months ago, and is something I was looking for as a comp to FreeNAS. I'll be checking it out, but the early edition give me pause for production.
No further updates on the G8 model, no benchmarks, leaks, pics, etc?
It looks like that facebook page got deleted pronto
You can definitely run 1x 2GB ECC and 1x 4GB ECC without issues. I have done so myseld.Can I add another stick of 4gb ECC ram to make it 6gb?
Or am I best adding another 2gb ECC ram so that I have 2x 2gb paired sticks?
Thanks

Might even be able to find people that upgraded to the 8GB or 16GB ECC Kingston kits that will take a few dollars for the original DIMM.
You are welcome.

Hmmm another question...
On the G8 link above it says regarding the old Microserver... "Personally I modded the x1 and proprietary x4 slot into open slots, and dropped a HP NC360T dual-port Gigabit Ethernet card into it"
Anyone modded the x4 port here?
Hello there,
I've just recently purchased a N54L and I've also got my hands on an HP P420 (With no cache module) (Firmware Revision 1.28).
I've been told that you can use the P420 without the module however I'm getting the following error message:
The controller is disabled because the cache module is not attached. Please re-attach the cache module to re-enable the controller.
Has anyone had any experience with using a P420 in a microserver? If I need to get the caching module then so be it but I don't want to waste anymore money if the P420 is not compatible.
Thanks very much,
Jase

Thanks very much for the replies!
This is the error message when booting:
Since posting I've been reading over this chart and from what I can make out it does need the module installed.
