I like the idea behind the HC series Odroids, but being limited to 1-2 drives per node seems a bit contraining. With the USB3 approach there really is no limit to how many drives I can put on a node, as long as I don't mind the performance drop. I'm more concerned with static storage capacity in this case. If you're using 1Gbps ethernet then I guess two drives is already going to saturate the network if they're able to read sequentially. -- Rich
