Hewlett-Packard (HP) was the 1st such vendor to supply a system with Windows Home host pre-set up, with its MediaSmart host series. HP was soon brought together by a short list of other system vendors, admitting Niveus and Velocity Micro.HP shortly extends 3 different HP MediaSmart host selections (its older patterns accept been phased out).


The 2 lead pattern, the HP MediaSmart host EX485 and EX487 both arrive with a entire of 4 user-serviceable repel bays--these 2 patterns are very to each other, with the exclusion that the EX485 arrives with a individual 750GB hard repel and the EX487 arrives with two 750GB repels (for 1.5TB entire memory). The LX195 utilizes a less-powerful CPU, less RAM, just 1 (non-user-serviceable) repel bay with a 640 gigabyte hard repel, and a littler form-factor than the EX series (the EX series too admits an eSATA port, which the LX195 lacks).
