All signs point to yes. Nice find! As for the eSATA, you may be pleasantly surprised if it turns out that its eSATA supports port multipliers. That was my case with a similar little box, and now I have two external enclosures attached to it with 5 disks each. Link to comment
markro1 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I got a SS4200 Yesterday - Unraid installed last night. So far all I have done is getting it up and running with a 300GB Sata Drive and 1TB Parity and got PS3MS running on it. The PS3MS thing is HUGE for me. Still mucking around with it. If you read online alot people had to do messed up stuff to get it to boot from USB cause the default is IDE-SATA-USB i nthe bios. So at first I though I would need a video card to go into bios and change the boot order. But there is not slot video for just a 1x pcie. If you do end up getting it - You can get by with out a Video Card PCI-E 1x hack install. Just hold down the reset button at the back when you press the power button and it boots from the USB not from the IDE-DOM or the SATA - but you need to do this for each boot. I didnt really want to have to dremel anything to get video working on it. I also upgraded the RAM to 1GB. For 150 bucks you cant got wrong.... I have spent more than that on mini-itx cases. The thing just feels sturdy. I am an Unraid Newb but So Far so good! Going to try out teracopy or fast copy cause my Windows7 Explorer connection seems to bomb out. Actually it looks like my RW network speeds cap at 2.3Mbps. Not sure what the problems is I posted in the 4.4 Forum http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5690.0 Link to comment
