In theory yes. I have not been able to test the SATA port on my prototype board yet (needs a hw fix for that). Please notice that laptop disks are not rated for continuous use, they are typically rated for 8h/day. Seagate has a series of disk with a suffix 'B' which are 24/24 rated but I have so far been unable to get anybody to sell me one. Hitachi uses an 'E' prefix (E7K100..) and those are readily available in the channel here in Denmark. Not sure about Toshiba. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
