Hello Landon Curt Noll, 1. Install a 32 GB CF card on the machine and add to the soekris 2,5" mounting kit a 2,5" SATA to CF card adapter also filled with two or three 32 GB cards = no heat and boot problem but low space 2. Install a 2,5" HDD 240 - 320 GB SSD = perhaps a boot and heat problems, likes now 3. Something from all ;) a.) Insert a 4 GB or 8 GB CF card with the OS installed in the soekris net5501 = no boot problem b.) Insert a SATA to eSATA adapter (10,00 €) with a low profile slot bracket, if the PCI slot is not in use = no heat problem c.) Connect an external NAS coming with his own power unit (PSU) and an eSATA port, likes the QNAP TS-809 Pro - 16 TB maximum = not internal of the net5501 but enough space and no boot or heat problems anymore. 4. Sorry no experiences with Intel SSD 5. Simply buy a brand new Soekris 19" - 1 U rack mount case for your net5501 = no heating problem, no workarounds, enough space for HDD´s and power, perhaps the best solution Because you haven´t told anything about the main job or jobs of this machine it will be not so easy to find out an optimal solution for you. It is also able to combine the things above, but not without the knowledge what job the OS in the box is doing exactly. As an example a snort server or sensor, a log file server,............ I hope this helps you out a little bit. ____________________ Kind regards and my best wishes Frank Schuhmann __________ Hinweis von ESET NOD32 Antivirus, Signaturdatenbank-Version 6464 (20110914) __________ E-Mail wurde geprüft mit ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
