[geeks] Intel SS4200-E NAS for sale

[Lionel Peterson]

Quick correction or two:

It uses DDR2 RAM, not DDR-400, and the RAM can be upgraded to 2GB

It has an Intel Celeron 420 CPU

It has TWO eSATA ports

Here is a link to an Intel product description PDF:

Apparently FreeBSD 7 and OpenSolaris will run on it:

Ubuntu also seems to be an option but you have to install it on a SATA drive
(see above link)

Internally, it is a Celeron CPU, 512M of DDR-400 RAM, and a small Disk on
Module (for holding the OS), as well as four hard-wired SATA drive bays and
eSATA and Gig Ethernet ports.
