Both, they seems a perfect replacement for microserver gen8. But what about the noise?? I will use it as a home NAS :)) -- Greetings, C. L.

The Xeon-D version at https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/midtower/5028/SYS-5028D-TN4T.cfm has a lot more capability than the Atom-based model. If you are willing to have one boot drive, then you could use the M.2 slot to add a M.2-based SSD for excellent performance and retaining four drive slots for server disks. It also says that it has 2x 2.5" internal drive bays so you could have SATA 6 drives in all, plus the M.2-based SSD.

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] An alternative to HP Microserver Gen8?
I've just started looking into this myself. Seems the common alternatives are the Dell T20 (on cybermonday blow out this week) and Lenovo T130. Both have support for ECC RAM and four 3.5" drives, but not via externally accessible bays like the HP unfortunately. IX Systems has the FreeNAS Mini which looks slick, but doesn't have an appealing price tag. (Got this suggestion from the #illumos channel.) Supermicro has https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/midtower/5028/SYS-5028A-TN4.cfm which looks to have potential as a direct competitor to the microserver, utilizing the mobo Lauri mentioned. Supermicro has a bunch of builds based around that chassis depending on how much grunt you want, all SATA based though.

Hi all, I need a new NAS for my home :)) .. Due to old hardware supplied on HP Microserver Gen8 (and it doesn't seems that HP release another model soon), I would like to know if exists some alternative with similar features: low noise, compact, etc. Exists?
