NetBSD Powered iSCSI Accesible Appliance Released

hubertf writes "TeamASA and Wasabi Systems cooperated to bring out a new "Personal Internet Network Attached Storage/Server" which runs on a 733MHz XScale CPU, does LVD SCSI and Gbit Ethernet with AppleTalk, Samba and most interestingly iSCSI to access the system. And of course this runs on NetBSD! Check out the appliance's web page." Looks like a really nice box.

BSD is...

Xscale Vs. Pentium+

[arcadum]

What benefit does the Xscale line offer over a power-conserving pentium/2/3/4?

An Xscale, and any ARM based processor, will make any Pentium look like a bar heater. They have very, very low power consumption for the performance.

Try getting a Pentium 4 to dissipate less than 5W of heat during normal usage.

I can easily get my P4 to dissipate less than 5W of heat, during normal usage..

... on average

... if normal use means turning it off for 22 hours a day.

Price?

[hackwrench]

They don't give the price? How annoying! Yeah, yeah, I know... If you have to know the price, you can't afford it.

Re:733 MHz XScale? huh?

[shaitand]

They came out with it at 10:53pm, I find slashdot latency is horrible, took a whole minute for it to get here. Doh, it's 20 minutes old already, refresh your browser to check out the next xscale powered appliance, this one is obsolete.

Where to buy?

[crazyeddie]

So...anyone know where these things are for sale? TeamASA doesn't appear to have any distributors. I'd just like to know how much $$ I need to save. ;)
