Why do I need it?

– If you are already running a recent ProLiant server, this thing is a cinch to setup and configure
– Affordability
– SSDs or HDs are both an option
We like these a lot. The first one we set up was with a ProLiant Gen8 DL360p server. Once we got to the web interface, it was was very intuitive and we were off and running.
Install tip: If you need iSCSi enabled, make sure the contollers have the latest firmware first.
