Well, it’s another clue that the winds of change may be about to blow through HP’s LX single-drive home server line. HP Shopping have an instant $100 rebate on the LX195 – a 25% saving, which means you can pick one up for just $299 – a bargain.
Meanwhile, Amazon.com are selling the product from $289, so it definitely looks as if this guy is on the way out.
If you’re making your first steps in the home server world, and are looking for a cheap starter system, you can do a lot worse. Check out our review from April. We said:
HP’s MediaSmart software package, whilst missing some of the top drawer features of the EX48x series, still beats what’s provided by any of their competitors today, allowing users to automatically collate media from multiple PCs, share photos with friends and family via leading online photo sharing services, stream music and photos from their home server to any location with an internet connection and importantly, backup both PCs and Macs within the household.
