I haven't messed with much in the hardware department for years. I recently picked up a small 12V computer I want to use for some field applications in ham radio. It presently has a conventional 160 GB SATA WD Caviar Blue drive in it now. I'd like to replace that with a comparable SSD that is hopefully just plug and play with the existing SATA connectors. Is that possible? My intent is to just load a basic Linux install (probably CentOS) from a USB stick and run a few basic services. It will have a USB GPS puck and run gpsd and ntp. I'll run the normal network server stuff of dhcp, dns, etc. I guess Samba is still the thing for a file server. It will not be connected to the Internet when in the field. The field network will be a bunch of Windows laptops and will need to share some files across the network with the server.
So, all that to ask, what should I get for an SSD for this thing? This is a low budget project. Thanks for your ideas. Michael _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
