I've heard of that and worse from HP. What possessed you to go buy a
computer without asking around first? If I were ever to actually
purchase a system (I purpose build everything - I can't afford
downtime and no one in their right mind sells 3.5 Tb servers cheap)
I'd buy a Dell. HP and Sony are trash.
