Hi all,<br><br>after an extended hiatus in the workforce, I've got around to re-activating my GLLUG email feed... So, on with the question I've been dying to ask -<br><br>Is IP over SATA a good idea?<br><br>Rapidly followed by "is it feasible using SATA?". I recall that some time ago, that someone (I believe on the GLLUG list) described SATA as being like a specialised implementation of Gigabit ethernet, or some such thing. If this were the case, then Gigabit ethernet would clearly be a lot less hassle for all involved; but if not, then maybe there's hope for a cheap, high-speed, short-haul interconnect. How many Gigabit interfaces would have to be aggregated to get similar throughput?
<br><br>Just to prove that I've often spent to much time in company of the Internet (and so I can prove I'm not the only mad person); I even tracked down the original inspiration for this (or at least one implementation of it) -

<br><br>Yours,<br><br>Richard<br><br>BTW: Aside from crackpot questions, I'm also looking for work. Hint, hint.
