Rather expensive option: Applied Micro X-Gene, overkill for a single disk, and only really available in a development kit format right now. <https://www.apm.com/products/data-center/x-gene-family/x-c1-development-kits/> Better Option: Ambedded CY7 - 7 nodes in 1U half Depth, 6 positions for SATA disks, and one node with mSATA SSD <http://www.ambedded.com.tw/pt_list.php?CM_ID=20140214001> --phil > On 09 April 2015 at 15:57 Quentin Hartman <qhartman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > I'm skeptical about how well this would work, but a Banana Pi might be a > place to start.
