I have been playing with the Banana Pi recently too. It is quite a nice little dual core ARM machine. It runs stock Debian. I haven't had a chance to set up a SATA disk on it yet however. I have only been using the SD card just like the Raspberry Pi. I have several of the Raspberry Pis too and the Banana Pi is definitely a faster more responsive system. > Same here.

Then mirror the two systems using DRBD. That would be complete system redundancy. Not a really high performance system but probably quite good for a home system. > Another problem with eSata is the power My good eSATA enclosure uses a separate power plug. Bob
