I've got several, all running NetBSD with no issue.  Some are running
directly off the mSATA device, some on compact flash, others have laptop
hard drives for storage.  So far no problems and straightforward setup.

Cheers,
Brook

I have a 6501 and the 32G ssd sitting at work, awaiting time to set it
up.  I expect it's going to be ok, and I'll send a note here with my
results.

[Soekris] NetBSD with a net6501 and the SSD drive anyone?

2012-08-10 Thread Ben Greenfield
Hey All,

I'm looking for a new board and I have settled on the net6501. The features 
that sold me are the GPIO pins and the gigabit ethernet. I now see it also has 
an SSD drive. Has anyone used the Transend mSATA ssd with NetBSD?

Is there any reason to not to expect it to work. NetBSD shouldn't need special 
support for a mSATA device should it?

Thanks,

Ben

 Hey All,

I am using two with the Transcend card and FreeBSD. These systems run just NTP 
and there is no heavy disk io. So far no complains.
