So far, a good server. We purchased a total of 4 of these so far. We added 16GB memory and four 512GB SSDs in RAID-10 configuration to each (giving us 1TB of usable disk space) and loaded them with Windows Server 2016.
We made the mistake of ordering the 8-SFF cage and waiting to install it - a complete waste of time and money, because we found out that, while the cage can support 8 SFF drives, it would require two cables to do so and the motherboard on this machine only supports ONE cable. After spending many hours trying to find a way around it, the only choice would be to buy a second disk controller (to support the other 4 slots) that costs far more than buying another fully configured server. If you want to get the 8SFF cage, there is probably another SKU to order - don't order this one.
We have been using them to stress test our software (we are an ISV who makes back-end software), so we have put the two older ones through about two to three years of typical use in the last several weeks. They have held up flawlessly.
One slightly odd thing - we bought two of these in our last order (we had bought two of them in a previous order) - they came with different faceplates that look pretty different.
