petaboxes

[Eric Chang]

What cpu do you use ?
And compare with ?
I'm redesigning my mogstored node.
Like petabox, using VIA EPIA 1g + 4 250g IDE HDD + 1g ram + 1u rackmount
case..

I'm using dual k8 with 4 SATA HDD now, and I think that's overkill...

My new mogstored will cost below usd$1,000/node.
I'll build 4 box first for testing.
So, there'll be 16 spindles , 4U ,but low power comsume.
