About the only difference between the X510 packaging and the EX495 packaging is the outside of the box.

About Jim Clark

Hello. I’m from the heartland of the U.S. Lots of corn and beans, although Iowa is a lot more than just farmland. It also has a few computer enthusiasts (no, not me!). I’ve been around PCs since I got my 1st PC XT aloooong time ago. WGS is one of the first sites I found centered around WHS. And the best. Every once in awhile, I do get away from the KB and enjoy time with and my wife and our 4 kids. And I do have a day job.

    Nice review.

    I suspect the X510 is a sort of trial balloon to begin differentiating the utilities for SOHO apart from the 'home' server line, and I wonder if the engineers at HP will begin to add SOHO-specific utilities in their next release.

    Does anyone have any view on the EX490 comparted to the X510? What's the major differences and such?

    I live in Norway and the EX495 is not available here. Therefore these to are my choice. However Im uncertain is its really necessery to buy the X510 instead of the EX490.

    Same for me in Germany. Neither the ex490 nor the ex495 is available in Germany and I doubt HP will change this. Although I`m really close to that company ;) I have to choose the X510 if I want to go for a HP WHS. The price is, compared to some online stores, affordable and ok from my side (1TB version around 470€).

    As I will replace the internal System disk with a 2GB version anyway, in order to get the 8GB max. storage capacity I do not care about the loss 500GB.

    I would seriously recommend you getting an 2TB drive instead of an 2GB drive
    are there really so small sata drives ? flash drives maybe?

    sorry just cant help myself when people make such typos ;) hihihi
