Where do I find more information on the i5500 iSCSI Raid System? There seems to be nothing on the site about it. Does is still use SATA disks, or is it SCSI? It seems to me that it uses iSCSI to communicate but not sure how that works. Will it work as a media centre within a large home network? I want the kids (at university) to be able to backup to it over VPN, will this work? Basically need more info or should I just get a 5200?

Thanks

Hi Phrontis,

although I don't have any details about the i5500, keep in mind that ISCSI is just an TCP/IP protocol and has virtually nothing to do with SCSI hardware.

Please check out this Press Release for some more information.

But to make it short:

The i5500 comes with five hot-swappable SATA drive bays that accommodate up to 5TB of storage.

For the difference between the N5200 PRO and the i5500: could it be that the N5200 PRO is more powerful? I don't know the specs of the Intel® Xscale IOP80331 CPU though.
