Father’s Day Giveaway – HP MediaSmart Server LX195

by

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Yesterday, I downloaded all the pictures off of my camera onto my computer. It took forever. After waiting what seemed an eternity (but was likely no more than a few minutes), I called on my husband’s computer wizardry to figure out the problem.

“You’ve got too many pictures on the computer,” he told me. “You’re going to have to burn some onto a disc and clear out space on the hard drive.”

I hate burning my photos onto disc’s. I really enjoy having them all together in one safe place where I can look at them whenever I want (you know, because I’m certainly not going to develop them. How arcaic…ahem.)

So, as I got to work burning my photos, I checked my email and found the link to the HP MediaSmart Server LX195 that one lucky reader will win in our Father’s Day Giveaway.

And I found the answer to my problem. The HP MediaSmart Server LX195 is the perfect solution for those of us who tend to overload our hard drives with photos, music and videos.

Some key specifications that make the HP MediaSmart Server LX195 a worthy investment include: Intel Atom Processor 230 (1.6GHz), 1 GB of system memory, a 640 GB hard drive, and four USB 2.0 ports, plus many more features that you can read about here.

“The HP MediaSmart Server LX195 is a central repository for backing up, storing and accessing digital photos, videos, music and documents from both Macs and PCs on a home network. This small home server acts like a digital vault that keeps all of your digital memories protected. It can also remotely stream media (photos and music) and allows for easy publishing of photos to social networking and photo sharing sites like Snapfish, Flickr and Facebook. The HP MediaSmart LX195 retails at $399.99.”

I can’t think of anything more useful than a backup system that allows me to free up hard drive space, but still keep my files combined and accessible for easy viewing whenever I need them. And, what’s more, my husband will love having the ability to store his music files in a place where they will be safe should anything ever happen to our computer. He’ll likely also love not having to drop what he’s doing and rescue me every time our overloaded computer freezes up.

Memories are important. They are what keeps us connected to the past. In this digital age, it’s sometimes a little frightening to precariously place our memories in one giant basket where they could easily be wiped clean. There is wisdom in backing up your files. And the HP MediaSmart Server LX915 is definately the smart way to do that.

If you are looking for a way to bless your husband or your father’s this Father’s Day, please leave a comment and enter this fabulous giveaway. Because you cannot put a price on your memories…

  1. I load up the PC harddrives with tons of photos. The photos are precious. This HP media smartserver will keep them safe.

  2. Very useful, my husband would be in electronic heaven.
    Thanks for the great giveaway!

    clemensrhonda@hotmail.

  3. I recently lost everything on my computer! It is heartbreaking!!! Oh, how I would love to have this!!! Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this useful giveaway!

  5. This would be a Joy to win with a capital “J” so I’m hoping, you never know.

  11. I lost a lot of photos that can’t be replaced. The HP MediaSmart Server LX195 would be a huge help.

  13. i’ve actually been looking into an old machine to act as a server, because our hard-drives are bursting, and we so need to get our media organized and centralized!

  14. I want one of these so bad so I can finally organize all of my media files!

    Thank you!

  16. I would love to win this great product for my husband for Father’s Day.

  26. My husband just joined a band and he clogs up our computer downloading all of the songs that he has to learn, so this would be an awesome surprise to give him!

  31. what a wonderful product for our guy
    this would be something he could really use…. he has so much music and games, and pictures,,, just great!

  32. This would be a great way to setup autobackups for all our home network computers and store pics/movies/mp3s for all to use without having multiple copies on each computer. Thanks for the super giveaway, and thanks to HP for designing this great piece of tech!

  38. My husband is a certified GEEK and would FLIP if I won this for him. Thanks for the chance.

  42. I actually have multiple disks that are totally disorganized. I would love to be able to have them all in one place and well organized.

  58. My husband would do the happy dance for hours if he received this for Father’s Day. He would stream media all day long and my honey do list would get longer and longer….be worth it though because I would be right there with him enjoying all the media server had to offer.

  59. My husband has been humming and ha-ing for quite a while now about purchasing a rave drive or external drive or whatever he calls it. With three networked pcs in our home office, we sure could use it! He’d love to receive one of these!

  62. My husband needs this (of course he thinks he needs everything) but he most likely needs this because I’m so TIRED of him putting crap on my computer.

  73. This would be wonderful as my husband and I tend to overload our computer with pictures as well, and movies,music and anything else you can think of.

  74. My husband inherited hundreds of pictures from his family that go back to the 1800’s. He has been scanning and tagging for months. This is the perfect compliment to what he is doing.

  79. my dh is all about computers. his job even revolves around them. this would be a fantastic present.

  86. I totally agree in that you cannot put a price on your precious family memories and unfortunately my husband and I had to learn that the hard way last July when our beloved computer died. Long story short, we ended up having to have the entire hard drive rebuilt on our computer and we lost so many image and video files as a result of that. We were very lax in backing up our files on a regular basis, never thinking ahead that a situation like that would have occurred, so we were, as you can imagine devasted. Some of our family members were able to share with us some files they had of our 3 children that we had given them, so I would say about 25% of what we lost we were able to retrieve through them. If I were to present my husband with this amazing HP MediaSmart Server, it would literally rock his world, he would be beyond thrilled to put it mildly! Thanks so much for the chance to enter.

  87. This would be great. It would be nice not to have to worry about pictures getting lost if my computer crashes.

  88. My hubby would love this. He’s a realtor and this would be a great place to keep all his pictures, flyers, virtual tours, etc. I also have a ton of pictures which I would love to store on this. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  91. My husband’s hobby is photography , he has so many pictures on his computer he could really use this. Thanks for the giveaway!

  92. this would be a great gift for my dad to backup all his family photos and home movies!

  94. My husband is a music fanatic and im a picture fanatic. He would LOVE this!! It would free up space on our system and solve both of our needs!

    Thanks for the great giveaway!

    JH33194(underscore)2002(at)yahoo.com

  97. My husband is the rescuer rather than the saver in our family as well. (He helps me out when I’ve overloaded the computer.) This would be a great gift for him because it would get me and my photos organized.

  98. This would be awesome. My husband thinks he is a computer guru and this would make his fathers day fantastic. It would be just another sign that he is the guru.

  101. My husband would flip over this. He’s always messing with the computer. *crosses fingers*

  108. This would be perfect for my husband, lol. I’m the “computer nerd” as he likes to call it, since I’m the only one that really knows how to function the computer. With this I could very well just easily teach him, it would be a great fathers day gift!

  112. I want to win this for me. My husband’s computer is working great, but mine is on its last leg and I need to protect my pictures.

  114. This would be awesome to win~as I know that the computers around here need some cleaning 🙂

  115. This is the ultimate Father’s Day gift. My PC is old and I am constantly having to clear things off of it. It would be great to have someone to put all of my husband’s pics! Thanks!

  117. This would make a wonderful gift for my Dad. He loves digital photography and it has become a fun hobby for him.

  118. That is so funny. My husband is always telling me the same thing about all my pictures. But, I’m like you I don’t want to burn them to disk either. I like to have them right at my fingertips.

    This would be so awesome to have, it’s the answer to both mine and my husbands arguing. Thanks, for the opportunity to win this great product!

  125. My husband would love this! Complete solution for back-up, we have desktops, laptops, netbook, some are PCs some Macs…pretty confusing sometimes 🙂

  127. OMG i think if i was to win this for hubby he would have to let me borrow some space on there. 🙂 I have so many pictures and software would love to have a place to store it other then dvds

  129. I use Photoshop to make images and textures to use in my fabric collage and take plenty of photos and there’s the music and there’s my husband and all his Linux stuff — yepper, like everyone else we could use this HP MeidaSmart server. I would be an awesome win.

  132. This is so cool, I love that it backs up automatically and isn’t noisy! It’s also nice that it doesn’t use a lot of power consumption.

  138. Another fantastic giveaway! This server would make a terrific Father’s Day gift for any lucky dad out there. I’m sure my dad would get a lot of use out of it; he has a huge collection of digital photos, mp3s, and personal electronic documents that I know he’d like to have extra secure storage for, so I’m grateful for the chance to win!

  140. This would be a great prize. I’ve lost pictures before and don’t want that to happen again. Thanks so much!

  143. Its hurricane season again and it would be great to have a Hp MediaSmart Server XP195 to keep everything on so we could take it with us if we have to evacuate again. Hubby is big on photography and we have tons of pictures as well as our family type photos, not to mention our personal records and such that live on the computer.

  145. My husband has been asking for one of these….he has way too many movies and mp3s on his harddrive and has run out of space. Thanks for the giveaway.

  208. My husband needs this (well I do too but it’s my job as a loving mother an wife to make HIM feel needed 🙂

  209. I’ve got the same problem with my computer freezing up due to too many pictures and other files on it. I keep toying with the idea of buying a new one that has more space and more memory, but it’s just not in our budget right now. I’d love to win this to know my pictures are safe, and to free up some more time in my day that’s currently devoted to rebooting my computer! 😉

He got one of those backup drives and his computer still runs slow. Wow, he would really be surprised if I won this for him.

  217. My husband would love this! He’s a networking guy at work and is always trying to do the same kind of thing at home!

  239. My dad is a prolific photographer. He takes tons of photos. He is also an artist and takes photographs of all his paintings.

  420. I subscribed to your feed via MyYahoo (my dollpenguin[at]yahoo[dot]com address.

  499. Nice idea for Father’s Day give-away! It’s something we should all be thinking about having in this day and age. Jodie Randisi

  501. This would be awesome! I was just noticing that I really need to clear some space on my hard drive, but I don’t want to move all those files off (for exactly the reasons you state).

  505. This would be great to back up all our family pics & my hubby’s music. That stuff takes up way too much space on our hard drive!

  546. My husband would love this. he’s all about technology. Thanks for the chance.

  549. AND I POSTED ON MY BLOG…
    Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great item!!

  553. Hey Celeste…#2, MY birthday is June 19th! Good Luck…Happy Birthday!! I would really like to win this, I wake up during thunderstorms and unplug my computer having night mares that I’m going to lose all my pictures!!

  554. My husband has been talking about needing to backup our photos so I am sure he would love this.

  555. Wow – I would be wife of the year with this! I love this idea. Who couldn’t use one of these. I feel like half my life is on my computer – music, videos, pictures, writings. Thanks for the chance to protect them!

  564. Having this to store all of the family pics and vids on would be great. Get rid of all the dvd backups!

  570. Oh I could really use this! Thanks for the chance; and the idea – now I have something to tell my hubby that I want for my bday (if I don’t win of course!)

  582. My husband is a photographer in addition to his full time job. I would love to win this for him!

  586. Um, this would be a gift to my husband because then I would quit complaining at him about my pictures!!! Case in point, one of my CD’s is fried and I lost some pictures from my son’s first birthday. Ugh!

  587. My DH is crazy afraid of losing his music. Tons of songs he has written and recorded are in his PC and he has bunches of discs burned. This would save alot of cataloging and time.

  588. What a great product! Our family has so many photos and I would hate to lose them. This is perfect!

    Thank you! 🙂

  591. It’s true, you can’t place a value on memories. But this will help preserve them. My parents just had their laptop die.

  597. My husband would certainly be surprised to receive a media server, and we would be so pleased to put this to use in our home. Thanks for the giveaway!

  599. My hubby is a self-made techie and would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this for Father’s Day. We actually have one that just crashed and we are looking at companies right now to recover some of our data that we lost. This would make an awesome gift (not to mention…it is WAY nicer than the one we had)!

  619. What a great product. I always fear that my computer is going to crash and I will lose all my pictures.

  631. WOW this would be so great to win. My computer is so slow with everything that is stored on it. If god-forbid it crashed there would be so many pictures that are just not replaceable lost it’s just heartbreaking to think about.

  638. This is right up my husband’s alley! Techie and useful, what a great gift 🙂

  655. This is a prize not only my husband but I would appreciate for him for father’s day!

  704. This would be amazing to win. Just yesterday my husband said he wanted a camera for Father’s Day.

  707. You can’t imaginve how badly we could use the HP MediaSmart Server LX195. We use our computer an overwhelming amoutnt of time for so many things that we’re involved in. My husband constantly worries about the computer crashing and the sluggyness of how it’s running due to the quantityy of files and photos that are stored on it. Everything stored on it is necessary to have on hand, quick to retrieve at any given moment. There’s no time to burn everything onto discs and no time to dig and sort through the discs in search of the right one for what is needed. When it’s needed, it’s needed NOW! There’s so much at risk if our computer goes down.

    So often we are unaware that so many things exist our there such as the HP MediaSmart Server LX195 to make our lives run smoother.

    Thank you for always bringing us the latest and greatest information on products that are available to us.

    My husband would be on cloud nine if he was given this as a gift. He always worries about the computer crashing and would be relieved to finally have a solution.

  725. I have been researching getting something to back all of my pics and music up, without losing accessibility, too. But, it’s so overwhelming that I just don’t know what to get. This one looks fabulous and would have my computer running faster in no time, I’m sure! thanks so much for the chance to win one!

  790. My husband would love a place to store all of the stuff our old computer can’t handle.

  794. We can really use this–my photos are spread over two computers and a flash drive, and I hate not having them in one place!

  800. I am so scared of loosing all of my pictures that I back them on to two different hard drives and on to flickr.

  805. My hubs is a complete geek and is the director of IT operations at a large marketing firm. He gets to work with stuff like this all the time there, but has nothing like it for himself. I’m sure he’d love to have a way to backup all his projects, not to mention our photos and videos!
