Just got a couple of devices from the third batch a few weeks ago. I'm not a hardware nor a linux expert but, it has been really interesting to get to work with this devices as prototypes for NAS deployments.
I've read as much as I could searching for this, but couldn't find a straight forward answer... since we want to make the most out of this little devices I was wondering:
As far as I understand, the SATA ports on the Helios4 have PM features, and if that is right, it means that with a SATA port multiplier board it should be theoretically possible to attach more than 4 hard drives, right?
But on some part of the documentation I also found a statement of a max 48 TB on 4 drives, and a top 16 TB on a single device.
Also, since the power consumption documented with 4 drives is so below the stated capacity of the provided power supply (12v@8a=96watts), could it be possible to power those extra devices trough molex splitters?
Could you help me clarify this?
Thanks!
