HP to intro Linux version of MediaSmart Server

Tim Higgins

January 03, 2008

Somehow the folks at Gizmodo got wind of a new, dual-drive version of HP's MediaSmart server. We're guessing that it will be officially unleashed at next week's Consumer Electronics show.

The mv2120 is positioned as part of HP's Media Vault line, but its packaging uses a cut-down version of the four-drive MediaSmart server.

The interesting twist is that the mv2120 is said to be running Linux, instead of Microsoft's Windows Home Server. Pricing supposedly starts at $300, but no word on how much storage that gets you.
