HP Z210 Workstation Small Form Factor ($ 2,173 direct) is a small, but fast single-processor desktop PC. It seems that the standard HP business desktop, but the similarities are only superficial. Instead of a standard Intel Core i5 or AMD Athlon II processor Z210 with ISV-certified Intel Xeon quad-core and many other effective components. Like a small boat, you will not get much in terms of internal expansion space, but the performance of the Z210 hardware scream deserves our Editor's Choice Award 'for workstations. That exceeds the largest, most expensive dual-socket system is another plus.
Design and features
The Z210 SFM has the physique of a workstation HP Compaq 8000 series, its frame is visually identical to the HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF. These similar cases help put out the burning desire of some workers experience when they see their colleagues at PC 'just got a better / faster / stronger. "It also allows you to combine the functions of the workers who have very different jobs in the same general area: Office workers can use the PC as HP Compaq Elite 8100 or 8200, while digital content creators, engineers and analysts need the extra power and ISV certifications obtained SFF HP Z210 Workstation. casual viewers will not be able to make a difference at a glance.

Inside, the system is all business. IT service contact points are highlighted in green, for example, computer technology can tilt the optical drive to get to the SSD mounted underneath. Business systems are configured as specified in the purchaser's computer, but our review model came with an Intel Xeon E3-1245 processors, 8 GB DDR3 ECC memory, integrated Intel Graphics P3000 HD, DVD burner, a 160GB hard drive GB solid state drive (SSD) for a boot disk, and a 1 TB 7200 rpm disk data. We also tested the system with 1 GB Nvidia Quadro 600 discrete graphics card (an option of $ 170). Not enough space inside the chassis of two PCI Express (PCIe) x16 (even if a place is wired x4) and a PCI card, a USB 3.0 card occupies the only PCIe x1. The system power is 240 watts, the average of a small form factor enterprise. Outside, there are plenty of connectors, ten USB 2.0 ports, audio in the front and rear, PS / 2 mouse and keyboard, serial, VGA, Ethernet, two USB ports 3.
0, and DisplayPort. If you get the Quadro 600, adds a DVI port and a DisplayPort connector. In any case, the system is ready for multiple monitors of the box.
Our Z210 comes with some pre-installed HP utilities, and some that can be downloaded. Intel vPro is supported by Intel AMT 7.0. Not surprisingly, the Z210 comes pre-installed HP System Management Client Client. Extras include other services, HP Backup and Recovery, HP Performance Advisor, HP Power Assistant, HP Protect Tools (security), HP SkyRoom (collaboration software), and support and some diagnostic utilities. His manager, of course, choose to preload the software on your system in a business, but you can take advantage of these public services, even if you're a small business.
Performance
The system Xeon E3-1245 processor is based on the same "Sandy Bridge" architecture as the current generation of Intel Core others. It is a true quad-processor Intel HD integrated heart P3000 Graphics. P means that it is the workstation version of the logic certified Intel HD 3000 Graphics found on some Intel Core i5 and Core i7. The coupling of the processor and SSD drive can spin the numbers Z210 excellent performance. The Z210 finished our testing Handbrake video encoding in a fast 1 minute 32 seconds, and Photoshop CS5 image filter test in just 3:04. To put this in perspective, the Editors' Choice winner Lenovo ThinkStation C20 ($ 4,618 direct, 4 stars) and Apple Mac Pro ($ 3,499 list, 3.5 stars) each had two Xeon processors (in a former generation) and was slower: The ThinkStation C20 served 4:09 to 2:06 ET handbrake CS5, Mac Pro to 2:22 ET to 4:42 handbrake CS5.
In front of 3D, the Z210 is Intel HD Graphics P3000 was good, but there are more powerful GPU. The Z210 3DMark Vantage finished with a score of 11,716 in the preset input, and 753 points in Extreme. When I added the DirectX 11 (DX11) compatible with the Nvidia Quadro 600, scores increased significantly (up to 15 038 at the entrance and 1,571 at the end). The Lenovo C20 was slightly higher than 18,281 and 2,500 for the entry to the ends, with the Quadro FX 1800 Card C20. Although not normally play games in 3D on a workstation, some game designers may have the opportunity to test the current code. The Z310 could only produce some 46 playable frames per second (fps) in Crysis with 600 Quadro cards, and a very slow 23fps with integrated graphics. Lost Planet 2 was very slow, but shows that the Quadro 600 is at least DX11 compatible (Intel HD Graphics P3000 can handle DX10).
With this kind of performance, why do not you have an HP Z210? If you absolutely need the full power of two processors, so you want a more powerful system like the Mac Pro from Apple or Lenovo ThinkStation C20. Both systems have exceeded the Z210 Cinebench R11.5 that rates of gross capacity CPU. This means that both systems will be better for high-end tasks like 3D rendering for film strips or CGI, oil and gas exploration, or a problem with different number of hundreds of thousands of variables. But for tasks other workstations, digital content creation and supercomputers on a daily basis, the Z210 is HP's fastest in its second generation of Intel Core boot disk and SSD make a big difference. For this and its overall bang for the buck, HP Z210 Workstation LeapFrog Small Form Factor Lenovo ThinkStation C20 and selection is our new Editors "for PC Desktop Workstation.
