One thing that I would really recommend is looking into using the
compact flash with the memory file system. For a first install or
if you have phyiscal access to the box, a laptop HD is just fine,
but when it is sent to a far away place, where power- or heat can
effect it, always use a CF or solid state type device. My wife has
swaped about 6 Net4801's with laptop HDs for compact flash because
the drives fail so quickly. Soekris did create a new case design
for the Net4801 with bigger vent holes that may allow for better
heat disapation, but without a fan, the box becomes an oven.
I burn one drive in a soekris.
Now, I use Endurastar HD that support extended temp and I have not
lost the HD.
It's 3 times the price of regular HD....
