Can anyone offer me impressions on Globalscale Technologies's D3?


Hi all,

I'm considering purchasing this little guy here and use it as a media server:
https://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-61-d3.aspx

Even though the hardware looks pretty nice, I'd like to know whether anyone can throw me some positive or negative impressions on it.

Thanks in advance,
gtludwig

Hi:

I read through the specifications and this appears to be a good piece of hardware.
I've posted the spec's so everyone can see and elaborate with you.

Code:

BlueTooth 3.0 + HS
Expandable 2T/2R or 4T/4R mini-card WiFi
1x USB 2.0 Host 
2x USB 3.0 Host Type-A
Console I/O micro-USB for system development
JTAG 8PIN I/O
Kernel: Linux 3.4.2

You may want to look around a tad before making your final purchase.
