It is like normal M.2 SATA, so purchaseable and installable. I recommending going beyond 64 GB, because sellers at 64GB and lesser want high prices because mSATA is not longer in use (replaced by M.2-Size) and higher sizes are still in production - so 8GB mSATA-Drive is as expensive as 128GB mSATA-Drive. I have tested up to 256 GB, which working. Beyond I have not tested yet.

@Studenteer Thanks for explanation on SATA power and your other answers. I do have one more question: can I replace the default with with higher capacity? You mentioned it's a '2242 mSATA'. I'm not familiar with how those embedded systems works. Is this a standard where I can buy a larger disk and swap the one that is built in? Is this just one standard or are there many mSATAs and it's easy to get the "wrong mSATA"?

I did a search on ebay it's really cheap even one store sells 10 of them for 80 euro too bad about the video adapter but it can also be done without

1.) I can confirm, that the sound and network working out-of-the-box with ABIv0. 2.) Straigthforward-usable. Just avoid installing AROS over USB3-Port related to the usb-driver. 3.) With "Disadvantaged of mSATA" it was meant, that there is a 2242 mSATA inside and installed on a mSATA-Port. It's not nessacary to use, but it is the only easy-use port for storage-drivers. 4.) There are up to two, atleast one SATA-Port installed on the motherboard, so it is useable. The RAM-Configruation is different to S700/S900 (two slots) - S720/S740 is only one slot installed. If having a Futro S720 with 2 GB or 4 GB does not practiacally matter using AROS. About SATA-Power-Problem: The motherboard and casing was used on older versions, where hdd was installed. Offically, there is no port for it, but you can use the internal USB-pins, which left open for addition internal USB-C or USB-A-Port, for using some of them pins for Powerdelivery. You need to be ready to buy some cables with female hats, but it let running an hdd/ssd-drive without any problems. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1l42VMCjKk[/youtube] 5.) Security-features are deactived by default, but can be actived if wanted. Just switch the storage-driver controll from CPU to Drive itself - it can cause problem with shuting down computer related to some AROS-Distros.

@ Studenteer I have a few questions about Futro A 720 1) Can you confirm that sound and network work out-of-the-box using ABiv0 build? 2) It this machine something straightforward to use? In a sense that I plug a pen-drive, boot AROS from it and then install it to internal storage without any need for special actions or opening the machine? 3) I didn't understand your comment about "disadvantage of mSATA" 4) These machine seems to be coming in a few different configurations RAM-wise but also storage-wise - either none, SATA or mSATA. Can you confirm there is at least SATA port on motherboard and you can squeeze in SATA disk (and there is also power cable for it inside of machine)? 5) BIOS-wise, does it behave line any other x86 PC or is there some added complexity? Administrator passwords etc?

ok thanks deadwood(y)

Let me know if/when you buy it though - I will add you then

ok deadwood:)

@Amiwell79 - the list shows current owners of the hardware, not past. The reason is that tell who I can go to do re-tests of new releases on that hardware.

deadwood I have had two acer aspire 5630 they work well you can easily mention me as a user who has used it

FYI, on the candidate hardware list, I added users who have specific hardware

Hi, No, the T630 is an improvement over the T730 especially the since the T730 can self destruct with external pci-e graphic cards Most AMD thin clients are good options which is nice as most corps are offloading them now at very cheap prices - important to get the external power supply at the same time as they all can vary in nature

is a good computer can be a candidate if you are not interested in GL applications

It's Radeon, so it would stay with VESA only. Again this is list of candidates, not yet the final, smaller list of recommended hardware.

what is the graphics card of the hp t630?

[quote name=Jeff1138 post=2724]@Jeff1138 - Hi, Thanks, is the HP T630 a thin client? Not sure if anyone has tested so far, out of my price range at the moment? [/quote] Based on HCL I was weighting in T730 vs T630. I looked to be as both have the same level of support, but T630 looks more available on ebay and cheaper ($50-100 range) so that's why I put it instead of T730. Would you suggest putting both as candidates?

I also had an hp z600 the compatibility is very good, you can install two separate CPUs otherwise it is identical to the hp z400

many thanks for all

Hi, Thanks, is the HP T630 a thin client? Not sure if anyone has tested so far, out of my price range at the moment? Tested a T730 recently until bricking it easily trying to put in a nvs295 or nvs310 - grrr things they never tell you until too late

Hi All, Thanks to your feedback and great HCL list maintained by @Jeff1138, I compiled a first, broader list of candicates. The main criteria for that list was acceptable driver support AND availability for purchase second hand, with at least 5 listings on ebay. If you have a system that has good support but is not on the list, please suggest it. If you have questions about specific item, please also let me know. From this list a sub selection will be made based on topics list degree of hardware support, age of hardware, usability (processing power, 32-bit vs 32/64bit, etc).
