I'd like suggestions for some hardware on which to run Plan 9, almost
certainly expandable SSD capacity will be a must (Venti service).
Price and quality will be the biggest factors, as always.
Ideally, storage is where the value will reside, the actual processor
could be expendable.
ARM would allow me to start with Richard Miller's release, which I
believe to be a very sound foundation.
Thanks for any and all comments.
This is very likely overkill, but
It’s a µATX PC-style motherboard, with what looks like standard PC power connector.
It has a 24-core ARM8 CPU, up to 64GB RAM (4 DIMM slots), onboard 1 Gbps Ethernet, looks like two on-board SATA ports, and (most usefully) 1 PCIe x16 and 2 PCIe x1 slots.
You could populate the x16 PCIe slot with an M.2 carrier board, like
to give you a decent amount of high-speed SSD storage?
The motherboard appears to have been sponsored by Linaro, which is some sort of Linux-on-ARM booster organisation, so it’s likely got decent documentation and/or sample drivers available.
