The Raspberry PI thread got me thinking. I need a "portable PC" that can do high-speed USB-3 i/o. I've been using a laptop with both USB-3 ports and a eSata port. I would like enough horsepower I can run compression on the data stream. Effectively "dd if=/dev/sdb | gzip > compressed_image_file" (I actually use ewfacquire from the distro to do this.) My plan is to buy a new laptop, but a nice Arm box might be a much better choice. Especially if I can get one for under $200. I could buy 3 of those instead of a decent laptop. Any suggestions of what I should look at? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
