Yes the iSCSI-R3 Enterprise is a USB module not IDE. All IDE modules are EOL "End of Life" we do not sell this anymore only the iSCS-R3 Enterprise, NAS-R3 Enterprise and DSS.
Many engineers have stated the Dual Cores (fast GHz 3.0 and above) with highest amount of Cache on the CPU is best. The way this works is that our cache uses all available free memory strictly assigned to cache and this will rarely be released during write or read options until you reboot the system. The reason is this makes operations on storage much faster to have it available all the time instead of drawing from it when needed (another wait process that would hinder performance).
Yes you will need SAN software to connect to the same target. This is very expensive software almost 8 times more the cost of our iSCSI product. Look to these companies for more information.
thanks again for your thorough reply. For my OS X clients, I also found http://www.dieagenten.de/metasan.htm - attractive pricing. I have to fight 1000$/liscense from Apple's Xsan so I guess I'm fine.
OK, so no quadcore but rather a faster dualcore CPU. Thanks!
