HP MediaSmart Server LX195 Wins a Recommended Award

Website HotHardware has a review of the HP MediaSmart Server LX195.

The 7 page review looks at the specs, the design and the build quality. The reviewer then takes us through the setup and configuration and tells us about the features of the LX195. As well as this, performance against a number of NAS devices is tested.

HotHardware had this to say:

Of all the consumer-level NAS devices we’ve looked at recently, the LX195 is (so far) the undisputed performance leader. This is in no small part attributable to the device’s Atom processor and 1GB of RAM–essentially, the LX195 is a small, headless PC–it has the same approximate horsepower as a netbook or nettop PC

We also connected the LX195 to a power meter to get a sense of how much power it consumes. When the device is sitting idle, it uses between 27 and 30-watts of power. Even when under load, its power consumption appears to top out at around 30-watts. When in standby mode, the device sips only about 3 to 4 watts of power.
