ICY TIP: How to Upgrade to 2.5” Hard Drive or SSD in RAID and Expand your Storage Capacity on your HP ProLiant N40L Ultra Micro Server

How to Upgrade to 2.5” Hard Drive or SSD in RAID and Expand your Storage Capacity on your HP ProLiant N40L Ultra Micro Server

The HP ProLiant Ultra Micro Server System The HP ProLiant Microserver N40L is a great compact server for a lot of home users, and small business owners. It can be a great NAS server, especially for those on a lower budget or the smaller design. But because of its smaller design, there isn’t much room to upgrade components or expand outside of the available 4 x 3.5” SATA hard drive slots. But, by omitting the DVD slot on the N40L, this opens up possibilities for storage options such as: A SSD as your OS, a mirrored RAID 1 of your OS, or boosting your write performance by using L2ARC on SSDs. We’re going to show a few ways you can easily add hardware to your server to dramatically improve your system performance.

The ICY DOCK ToughArmor Series

The ToughArmor series maximizes the available space in your system, with several varying flexible configurations in either a single 5.25” or 3.5” device bay. The main focus is to make sure your drives are fully secured and protected, which is done by the unit’s full metal design. This also doubles as a passively cooled solution, while either a single or dual fan are included on the rear to provide an active cooling solution. The EZ Slide Mini & Micro Trays are included in the ToughArmor line, with each model using interchangeable trays for their compatible counterparts. The ToughArmor series are also designed with a hot-swapping ability that makes it simple to exchange hard drives in case of failure. Within seconds, you can recover from a drive failure by swapping out the drive with a new one, then inserting back into the enclosure. Ensuring your drives are secured, protected, and ready for any situation is what the ToughArmor series provides. The ToughArmor series suggested applications include: Medical & Military systems, Media servers, NAS server and IPCs, approved and used by Tier 1 companies.

Introducing the ICY DOCK FlexCage MB973SP-1B Tray-less 3x3.5" HDD in 2x5.25" Bay SATA Hot Swap Rack / Cage / Module

Introducing the FlexCage MB973SP-1B, a 3-in-2 Tray-less SATA Backplane Cage for 3.5" SATA hard drives. This is a commercially designed product in the FlexCage series for use in server environments, such as towers or rackmounts. This FlexCage incorporates the best technologies to meet those demands, with second to none fit, function, and reliability. Space Saving & Tray-less Design The MB973SP-1B has been designed to maximize space use by allowing up to 3 x 3.5" SATA III hard drives, while only consuming two 5.25" device bays. The FlexCage also only requires two 4-pin power ports (or two 15-pin power ports with included 4 pin to 15 pin adapter cables), to power up to three 3.5" hard drives. In order to further the convenience of the FlexCage, our renowned tray-less technology is integrated into the cage -- no screws or tools are required to insert or eject the drives, making hot swapping a completely hassle free experience. However, because of the tray-less technology used, maintenance becomes dramatically reduced to simply ejecting a failed drive, and then reinserting the replacement. Flexible Cooling On the rear of the MB973SP-1B uses a large 80mm cooling fan to pull cool air from the front ventilation slots, over the drives, and exhaust the warm air out through the rear ventilation slots. The FlexCage also features the Active Power Technology power system, so that the fan used and the individual LED are only powered on if a drive is inserted. The included 80mm cooling fan also can be easily replaced and maintained, as the unit is fully removable and replaceable with most aftermarket cooling fans of the same size. To expand the range of compatible fans, both 2 and 3 pin standard fan power ports are available and can be easily accessed. Server Ready The FlexCage uses our Flex Fit Design, which accommodates to different tab lengths when installing to a server or tower computer case. This will help reduce the build time, and also adds greater compatibility for different system builds. In addition, there may be systems that use 15 power connectors exclusively, and so 4 to 15 pin power adapter cables are included to provide better accessibility for various host systems. Each bay includes individual LED indicators, displaying both drive power and activity. This is to provide drive status information at all times. Similarly, each drive door has a multi-locking latch mechanism to prevent a door from being opened easily. For best durability, a solid aluminum panel is used in each of the door latch, making it an ideal solution for systems where IT and non-IT personnel may have access to. Lastly, to ensure a peace of mind, the FlexCage is backed with our 3 year warranty, equivalent to a hard drive’s warranty. Key Features * Fits 3 x 3.5” SATA HDD into 2 x 5.25” Device Bays. * Supports SATA 3 (6 Gb/s) hard drives. * Compact and space saving design to fit multiple drives. * Commercially designed for servers & rackmounts. * Screw-less, tool-less design for genuine plug & play and hot swap use. * Lightweight aluminum body construction for durability and heat   dissipation. * 80mm cooling fan for maximum air flow. * Fan is replaceable with aftermarket fans that use standard 2-pin or 3-pin   connectors. * Flex Fit Design – accommodates different 5.25” tab lengths for server or tower cases. * Active Power Technology (APT) - individual blue led & cooling fan only powers up if there is a drive   installed in the bay. * Multi-locking door latches to prevent accidental drive ejection. * Two 4 pin to 15 pin adapter cable included for 15 pin SATA power ports. * ICY DOCK 3 year warranty equivalent to hard drive manufacturer warranty to ensure maximum reliability   and long life.

That can add up to an overwhelming amount of data in some cases, and can be quite unwieldy for the only native backup method of using Direct Attached Storage (DAS) drives................read the full review

Build an All-in-one 3D Gaming HTPC with Flexible Storage Expansion Using ICY DOCK Storage Solutions

The evolution of the TV has been continuous, with the most recent additions of becoming bigger, slimmer, cheaper and lighter, with the quality of video advancing each year. With advent of HD 3D gaming on PC, the quality and appeal makes it a great addition to have at home. But, with current consoles such as the PS3, XBOX 360 with the outdated graphics, 3D and overall quality cannot compare to their PC counterparts. However, a gaming PC is not usually used where a TV is because chances are that the PC would look out of place and could take up a lot of space. One solution to this is the use of a gaming HTPC, as it is able to fit into your living room without standing out or taking too much space. A gaming HTPC is an excellent solution for those who want to be able to play the latest HD video games, watch HD movies, TV, and surf the web – without taking up a whole lot of space. You can select specific components for your needs and have high quality HDMI output from your system. With that in mind, we want to select components that look good in your living room, handle the performance requirements, have cooling options, and be as silent as possible. We have narrowed some examples of what components can be used: Note: These are components complied based on user feedback from Newegg and have not been built or tested. All prices are provided by Newegg with the exception of the Blu-ray Burner (Amazon) and do not account for rebate, shipping, or tax amounts.

The above system builds should be able to handle everything you throw at it with very little problems. All components use the latest technology and so will last for years to come for your HTPC. If you want to add 3D gaming, overclock, or an additional storage option to your list, we suggest looking into the high end build. Now let’s talk about the storage part. The idea behind the ToughArmor MB994IPO-3SB and DuoSwap MB971SP-B combination is to use the 2 x 5.25” external bay of the Lian Li case, giving you enough space to fit 1 x Blu-ray, 2 x SSD in RAID, 1 x hot-swap 3.5” HDD slot and 1 x hot-swap 2.5” HDD/SSD slot. So, you would have fully featured a gaming HTPC with a Blu-ray player, 2 hot-swappable SSD bays, and a hot-swappable 2.5” + 3.5” bay with SATA 6Gbps speed.

Please click on the product banner above for the product information.

With the ToughArmor MB994IPO-3SB , you can store 1 x slim ODD and 2 x 2.5” SATA/SAS SSD or HDD, all in a single 5.25” bay. This is the perfect solution for your gaming HTPC to install a Blu-ray player while creating a high performance RAID 0 SSD setup to boost your entire gaming experience. The device uses full metal construction, fully protecting and cooling your investments. Also, if you opt for traditional hard drives, a built in 40mm cooling fan can be used to provide optimal cooling to your hard drives. Otherwise, the fan can be shut off to completely eliminate any noise when using SSDs. Hot swapping also allows you to swap any of the trays at will. In case of a drive or slim ODD failure, swapping out just takes the release of the particular latch, and then removing and replacing the SSD, hard drive, or slim ODD. It is a big plus to have a HTPC build in your living room as you no longer need to deal with the cables, just remove the entire system from your TV stand, or open the case to reach the failed SSD/HDD.

Please click on the product banner above for the product information.

The DuoSwap MB971SP-B will be able to fit into the second 5.25” bay available, allowing 1 x 3.5” and 1 x 2.5” SSD/HDD, using a completely tool-less drive installation system. The DuoSwap is similar to an external docking station, but you receive full benefits of the SATA 6Gbps performance without limitations of USB, eSATA, or FireWire. This allows you to easily swap your hard drives out from one computer to the other and easily make a backup of your media collection. When the device is not in use, the two part anti-dust cover protects your HTPC from any entering dust, thus helping keep your system clean. Overall, this adds more expandability options for your system. With your high end gaming HTPC in place, you can experience the newest video games in 3D with the best hardware, meanwhile, still being able to use all the capabilities of an HTPC -- within the confines of your living room.
