| 886122 | 2010-05-19 12:03:00 | What on earth would you want more RAM for if you were using FreeNAS? ;) Heck, I even run VoIP PBX systems off them with room to burn ... |

| 886124 | 2010-05-19 12:32:00 | Nah it runs off the CF card. It doesn't write squat to it once it's booted, for the better part at least. What would it need to write aside from maybe pushing access logs to disk on occasion? If you go to pcengines.ch and click on "Shop", then "USD Prices", you'll be able to buy one yourself. You'll ideally want: www.imagef1.net.nz Though the PoE injector is optional (Runs off the same power supply as powers the unit), I got that just because it's one less wire running to it. Total cost, landed, is approx NZD$270 :) Not bad considering you can get safes relatively cheap too from the likes of DSE and the external 1.5TB WD MyBook HDD's (I got the ones that look like they should stand up rather than lie down coz they're more reliable in my experience) from pbtech for super cheap too! |
