My SheevaPlug is 7W (normal operation: 3W or less), 512MB RAM, only 512MB of<br>
NAND (though you can use a SD card like me, or a slower USB). CPU is a 1.2GHz<br>
ARM, though I'd say it is rather comparable to a slower Intel CPU.<br></blockquote></div><div><br>The Seagate FreeAgent DockStar that was mentioned here can be bought in Israel for as low as 268 NIS, or 289 NIS including shipping. ($39.99 direct from Seagate USA, down from $100).<br>
It is almost identical to the SheevaPlus (same processor , same speed), but the price is 1/2 to 1/3 of what it would cost you to buy a single SheevaPlug yourself.<br>(including Shipping, Handling and Taxes).<br><br>Cons:<br>

searching the net for </font><font size="2">STDSD10G-RK specifcations, i couldn't find any. especially at <a href="http://seagate.com">seagate.com</a><br>(the specification pdf they have has pictures and some blah blah, but the specification in it is only "a dockstar with lan" - not even saying which lan - 1G or 100M.)<br>
google also preffers i look for </font><font size="2">STDSA10G-RK</font> (SA instead of SD). and i couldn't find what is the difference.<br>I mailed <a href="mailto:support@seagate.com">support@seagate.com</a> support, see if i get a response ...<br>
