UK Magazine PC Advisor has a 2 page review on the HP MediaSmart Server EX470. Their verdict is:
It’s early days yet for WHS, and it’ll be interesting to see what HP’s rivals can come up with. But as a first version the HP MediaSmart Server EX470 is extremely promising. It’s a good match for a PC-using household, and delivers handsomely on its promise of offering easy-to-manage tools for protecting and sharing data in a multi-PC home.
And it gets an impressive 4.5/5 stars in the Overall category.
