Newbie question about SATA

[hugoso]

Hello, I've read in the A20's datasheet that it has a SATA v2.6 at 3 and 1.5 Gb/s
My question is if the A20-OLinuXino could be used as a Network-Attached Storage, with a 2TB harddrive and connected through Ethernet and/or maybe Wi-Fi. It would exit through a 100/100 Mb/s link to Internet.
I was thinking about making this and wondering if the OLinuXino would work, it would run only the file servers and a torrent or other P2P services.
I have few experience in embedded systems, I'm worry about the A20 can handle this traffic.

Thanks in advance. Just meet Olimex, I love you guys  .

Should work without issues with 2.5" (notebook) hard drives, because you can power them from the 5V connector on the board. For 3.5" drives you'll need external power supply or some kind of convertor (they need 12V).
