Re: Will it work for QNAP 420?

Hi guys,

Thanks for your replies.

I have another question: everybody tells me that ARM processors are a
way too slow for raid5+samba+transmission+openvpn, but the only
information I got on ARM's performance is that Marvell's 1.6 GHz
kirkwood chips are close to atom N270.

I guess you have some practical experience with ARMs, can you tell me if
Marvell's chips will be able to run all these tasks?

Cheers,
	George
