The storage on the Lintop 2 is connected with a standard IDE connector so it should be possible to replace it with a bigger flash drive or a 2 1/2" internal HDD if required. No moving parts so it should be silent. I've been looking for something quiet and low power to run as a basic file server at home and one of these, at less than 8 watts, along with an external hard drive may be just the thing. gareth -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
