Yea the cost savings can go towards a proper 12v deep cycle battery.

Hi,
My point about the UPS is that an off-grid setup doesn't need one which
somewhat offsets the additional cost of supporting a hard drive.
Currently the two schools in Lesotho are using MSI Nettop as school
servers. In the context of charging 30-100 XOs, the additional power
consumed by the

Hi,
What is the disk capacity required by internet-in-a-box?
The purpose of the server is to deliver the information not available
from the internet.
The cost of a UPS which is required for a system on the grid is $80-100.
In my experience, there is need for one school server at a school

This is a real disappointment to
Oops, forgot to actually cc Richard.
Here's some more Google searching of SSD v/s HDD prices.
Capacity HDD price SSD Price Price difference 64 GB $25 $50 $25 128
GB $33$100$67256 GB$40$200$160512 GB$55$430$375
If you can manage a server with a 128 GB drive, then SSD seems to be the
way to go. At
Thanks Anish, that was my gut feel as well; for a solar powered
server, solid state storage ought to be cheaper than spinning rust.
The argument changes once the power system has to do a lot more than
power the server. The incremental cost is then hidden.

Hi,
I have been trying to crunch some numbers and the results seem interesting.
I don't claim the calculations to be correct, so if someone with more
knowledge (than me or a quick google search) can reply, would be very
useful.
The average difference between power consumption of an SSD and a HDD

What's the incremental cost of solar capture and storage for powering
a hard drive compared to an SSD?

We have just received confirmation that compulab won't be releasing a SATA
connector with the utilite. ( http://utilite-computer.com/web/home )
Instread they will offer a mSATA connection.
So far, they have not been willing to clarify if the change is due to heat,
power, or marketing. As shipped
