 HP dropped support after 1 year May 09, 2010
1 star because in early 2010, HP stopped supporting EX470/475, and they will not even repair or provide replacement parts! My unit overheats, and shuts itself down after v3 software upgrade. After speaking to HP tech support, a guy told me I should buy a new MediaSmart server to replace my 1 year old unit.. This would be the least serviceable computer purchase I've ever made. I swear, I will not buy another HP product.

Died and HP won't support it. Apr 06, 2010
After a little over 1 year of use, the power supply died in my MediaSmart Server. I thought that I would be able to call up HP support and either send it in for repairs or get a replacement part. Well, they tell me that this server, only a little over a year old, now out of warranty, will not be supported. That means no replacement parts, no repairs. They told me that my option is to buy another one and put the drives from this one in it! I have NEVER bought any item of significance that the company wouldn't stand behind just a year later. I will never buy another HP product again.
I would buy the Samsung NAS with Windows Home Server in the future if I were going to buy another one. This experience was simply unacceptable from any company for any reason.
 HP MediaSmart Servers -- A Necessary Appliance Dec 19, 2009
I bought my HP MSS EX475 in December, 2007, when they first came out. It has, of course, been superceeded by the EX485/7, the EX490/5 and the HP Data Vault models, all improvements over this base model. It is a user-friendly appliance for archiving backups to your home computers allowing the restoration of single files or entire disks very quickly. (Want to install a larger disk? You can be operational in a half hour!) It allows pictures, movies/videos, music and data files to be stored in a central place and shared within the household. (No need to share disks on computers or to have copies of all the files on each computer!) It allows music, photos and videos to be played on your media players (wireless photo frame, iPod, or, with an extender, your TV).

HP Stuff Doesn't Work Sep 24, 2009
This is the third set of HP drives that crashed just days after the six month warranty ran out. Tough luck for me. By the way, this thing does not support printers no matter what the marketing info says. I asked the tech support people about that and they literally laughed at me.

 Great Server Big Problem If You Have To Repair Sep 19, 2009
Great server as long as it works. Mine lasted 1.5 years, looks like the power supply went, or possibly the motherboard. I called HP to get the parts, they do not sell the parts to the public. You have no choice but to send this unit to HP for repair. With the diagnostics charge and parts it will at least cost you half the price of a new server. If I had of known this I would have bought a more standard computer based server or built my own. I will tear this unit apart however and see if I can get the part number off the power supply and do a search for it.
