HP MediaSmart Home Server EX475

With only 512Mb of memory the write performance does suffer. After doing a bit of reading on this forum thread.

I decided to upgrade the memory

• Upgrade memory in you HP ex475
• Crucial part CT25664AA667
• or from Ebuyer - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142383

This made a phenomenal difference before I was only getting a max of 20Mb/s on writes now I get 35Mb/s due to all the additional cache. W00t!
