I've had no luck with VM, but I didn't try very hard. I'd recommend against it.
Hard drive power and heat is a serious concern, with 2 of them and no air movement, you will likely burn up the drives. Even with a fan, I'd recommend 5400 rpm or equivalent green drives. Hard drive power consumption is not a very easy statistic to find, but it does vary, and the big disks you want will be pretty hot and thirsty. The additional heat from the PSU components feeding the drives would concern me too. I'd add external power to that DVD drive rather than feeding it off the Soekris. And I would recommend getting one of the real SSD msata drives and putting a real OS install on there. Then you can get the hard drives to spin down because they won't be in use for regular OS stuff, just big data movement. As much as I like the Soekris boxes, it sounds like you really want a desktop case and MoBo with a laptop CPU and some 3.5" drives. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
