I am going to have to purchase a new server in the next couple of months. Other than one unfortunate purchase of an HP server, I have always used Dell servers. They have always run for years with almost 100% uptime. I have been happy with the Lenovo laptops and desktop I have purchase over the last 5 years so I am going to look at Lenovo servers. Anyone that has experience with them, please tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly. I will never purchase another HP server again. They had proprietary firmware on the hard drives. If you bought the exact same hard drive direct from the manufacturer, instead of HP (at three times the price), it would make all of the fans run at 100% all the time.
