Jan 28 14:52:33 lol Jan 28 14:52:58 racerx: the new sheevaplug was just a prototype...there's no useful data, only marketing stuff Jan 28 14:53:22 more or less like the twelve-core arm cpu marvell was doing or something like that :) Jan 28 15:18:08 armin76: http://www.newit.co.uk/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=13 I mean the esata sheeva thats for sale now Jan 28 15:18:39 armin76: I want to know if anyone has done a test with the same drive shared via esata and usb over samba.... Jan 28 15:19:09 oh sorry Jan 28 15:19:20 armin76: while the esata interface allows for more throughput,,, ii doubt the cpu can push much more data thru Jan 28 15:19:24 you said new sheevas, thought you were talking about 3.0 Jan 28 15:19:28 oh now Jan 28 15:19:30 oops Jan 28 15:19:59 no, im curious if the £20 increase will actually yield any more perofmance over the usb only one Jan 28 15:20:05 *spelling! Jan 28 16:37:23 does anyone have experience with the newit esata sheevaplug? Jan 28 16:37:39 mostly: does anyone know whether the esata can power a disk too? Jan 28 16:37:51 I'm not sure about that Jan 28 16:38:33 I have eSATA on my desktop, but it's directly connected to the mobo, to the internal sata port Jan 28 16:38:41 don't think it powers anything Jan 28 16:39:31 mjl-: yeah esata doesn't provide power Jan 28 16:39:43 ok thanks, means i will need an enclosure Jan 28 16:39:49 there is a new standard called power over esata :P Jan 28 16:40:23 i've read contradictory info on the internet, some people even claim their esata connectors are even normal sata connectors (with power) Jan 28 16:40:59 but i'll prepare for having to buy an enclosure. i guess it's better to have the disk protected a bit Jan 28 16:41:54 oh, i've also seen sata<->esata cables, perhaps that's from the time sata disks had old-disk-style power connectors (molex?) Jan 28 16:42:58 you could just email newit and ask, they have pretty good customer service Jan 28 16:43:15 indeed Jan 28 16:43:46 I brought my Plug 3 weeks ago from newit, and can confirm the customer service quality ;) Jan 28 16:45:53 good points. i already mailed them about something else, got a reply quickly Jan 28 16:46:30 I'd possibly go as far as to say it's the best customer service I've had from an online retailer Jan 28 16:46:42 (I don't work for them :P) Jan 28 16:47:19 :P Jan 28 16:47:37 mjl: be carefull with esata<->sata... make sure you unmount before unplugging Jan 28 16:48:02 sorry.. sata-->esata Jan 28 16:48:16 the other way is fine Jan 28 16:52:05 I'd quite like an openrd but I'm concerned that I'd find it too noisy with an hd Jan 28 16:52:22 and its a bit too much money to just buy it and risk it Jan 28 16:55:13 getting close to mini-itx/atom prices Jan 28 16:57:05 which can be silent too, and more versitile in a home enviro Jan 28 16:59:01 racerx: I'm also interested in low power and the arm systems seem to beat the itx systems still there Jan 28 17:00:18 yeah thats true Jan 28 17:00:31 atoms are no where near the ball park Jan 28 17:02:13 my sheevaplug uses less power than the network switch next to it! Jan 28 17:02:22 amazing really Jan 28 17:02:42 chemicaloliver: how much does it use? Jan 28 17:02:45 ~3 watts? Jan 28 17:30:59 I'm curious if anyone knows of a company actually STOCKING sheevaplugs Jan 28 17:31:43 I'd like to play with one, but the person visiting me from the US leaves next week for me (I'm in the 3rd world) Jan 28 17:32:13 the open-rd I have is working out well.... Jan 28 17:43:40 mtaht4: http://www.newit.co.uk/ they do Jan 28 17:43:57 somehow I doubt I can get stuff from there to the US cheaply. :/ Jan 28 17:44:11 mjl-: my network switch uses 7W my sheevaplug uses 3-5W depending on usage Jan 28 17:46:34 mtaht4: yeah shipping to the US is 17 pounds Jan 28 17:47:09 dont globalscale have them in the US? Jan 28 18:15:41 4 weeks delivery Jan 28 18:15:52 for globalscale Jan 28 18:24:28 mtaht4: ouch **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jan 29 02:59:56 2010
