I like the GoFlex Net because of the two SATA ports and that the older Seagate GoFlex and Backup plus drives slot right in - it's neat, compact and inexpensive.
Recently I also researched the "Seagate Business Storage 2" which has arm11 processor dual core, 3 SATA ports and more NAND/Ram than GoFlex Net. It costs less than £100/120 Euros/$160USD ... drawback is that there isn't a procedure (as yet) to Debian'ise it ... Hopefully someone here will be able to help the poster further than I could ... not much I can do anyway without physically having the hardware to play with.
So I'd be interested in other's opinions on what they reckon is a good Debian'isable board/unit ... SATA or not SATA doesn't matter, as application for the device can vary ... obviously things like integration into Debian mainline build, RAM, NAND, USB3, SATA versus cost and physical size ... and of course mainstream availability ...
All opinions welcome really, reason I ask is I've found embedded linux computer's quite useful and much more economical than full blown PCs or even NUC/atom boards ... upside with Intel platform is it's much more widely supported, and generally easier to setup, potentially more powerful ... downside is generally cost, a basic NUC setup box/RAM without disk in UK is around £150/170 euros/$200USD ...
Cheers
