    Quality

    Needed a home server and saw the 96gb 2tb model come available, had to grab it up. Not only is the quality amazing. It just works great.

    Amazing, but glitches sometimes

    I'm happy with my 9955/96/2. It's very fast, but it freezes a couple of times a week, which can only be fixed with a reboot. I've Googled this issue, asked the AI, changed some BIOS options, tried not using certain programs, but it still happens. Another major drawback is the cheap SSD that comes with it. I replaced it with a Samsung 990 PRO.

    A great compact and powerful machine

    A great compact and powerful machine. The underlying issue with this is heat in such a small enclosure. Put it into a 2U chassis and it would be perfect as it would solve the majority of the heat issues.

    Great home server

    I added this guy as my third host in my k3s cluster with an MS-A1 and an optiplex. I upgraded it to be my main database server where I get around 15k rps. It handles it no problem without even any struggle. CPU stays pretty cool and I don't hear a thing. Great purchase and I might get another later if I need another
