The HP Microserver is the same sort of beast: HPE Proliant Microserver Gen 10 Plus is about the size of a bookshelf speaker by the looks. HPE's own drives are relatively expensive. This is effectively a fit and forget solution, I think. Drives aren't hot swap but if you're going to use SSD anyway, that doesn't matter. The ILO card is a little bit more. Alternatively, it might be worth looking at something small and silent from a US? equivalent of QuietPC / Overclockers UK. Hope this helps, All best, as ever, Andy Cater
