Hi all,
If we are to use an external harddrive and an external USB Hub, why
not get a mini-ITX MBO powered with 12V and a small mini-ITX box? This
way we can have a decent CPU which is also low power in electricity
not low in computing power (about 30 watts total).
I think the RPi is only good in portable apps, but then again the SD
Card is a major handicap. It could be good for applications that are
not 24/7/365, such as an event where an AMPRnet GATEWAY is desired
only for a few hours or maybe a few days max. If you operate the SD
Card for more than a few days, it might get destroyed from the
constant write of log files, updating databases etc.
Can we have a system with no writting on the disk all the time? I'm not sure.
