Value for Money
Performance
Small offices value their peace and tranquillity, and we found the T100 to be unobtrusive during testing. Along with the processor and hard disk fans you have another in the power supply, but noise levels are so low the server is almost inaudible. Power consumption was also modest. With the OS in idle our in-line power meter reported a draw of only 73W, and with SiSoft Sandra maxing out both processor cores this rose to only 104W.
As a first server the T100 offers a flexible package that can be easily customised to suit your pocket. Remote-management features are virtually non-existent, but it supports a good selection of processors, is well-built and its low noise levels make it well suited to small office duties.
