Unit looks very promising for an inexpensive, low power, low heat, high capacity storage rig for those that don’t need a lot of horse power for their Windows Home Server.
The VIA NSD-7800 is powered by the VIA C7-D 1.5 GHz processor and supports up to 1 gb of ddr2 memory. The front door panel gives access to eight 3.5 inch drive bays that provides the installation of SATA -2 hard drives. .
This unit also provides support for a type-1 compact flash card for those of you that want to run an embedded OS. The NSD7800 has a PCI Express gigabit network card for super fast file transfers or HD media content streaming. Also supported are WOL, WOA, and a watchdog timer. The VIA NSD7800 also supports Windows Home Server, Windows Server 20003-2007 and your favorite flavor of Linux.
