HP MediaSmart Server LX195
Posted 1 day ago - The HP MediaSmart Server LX195 is an inexpensive network server designed to function as the central repository of a small home-based PC or Macintosh network. It is HP’s most inexpensive server, which makes sense considering it only hosts a single SATA drive and four USB ports. On the bright side though, the LX195 can handle remote connections, automatic PC backups, and Web-based photo publishing directly to photo-sharing sites like Snapfish or Flickr. Included also is a standard user management system, network file sharing, and in-home media streaming. Perhaps the largest drawback though is the unit’s lack of support for redundant storage, as well as printers and IP cameras.
