The M-42 has space for four hot-swappable 3.5" SATA hard drives. Powered by a dual core Intel Atom 330 with 1Gb of RAM this unit offers a small compact platform that is very affordable.

Lab Storage and SAN Evaluation; Software and Hardware testing labs often need storage space for multiple projects and have a hard time justifying an expensive SAN deployment within the lab. The M-42 is basically a "SAN in a box" and by using simple desktop GbE desktop switches you can very affordably replicate a full blown IP-SAN for a fraction of the cost of any vendors entry level products.

Desktop Video Production; Small enough to be portable the M-42 can house up to 8TB of storage and needs nothing more than a network cable to connect it to a workstation. The ability to move the storage away from noise sensitive areas while still having block based storage that appears to be internal storage will appeal to many users. the M-42 is faster than any consumer level NAS devices and it still offers the scalability of adding multiple units for those really big storage needs. with the use of iSCSI the M-42 offers the ability to have multiple workstations each mount storage from a single storage enclosure which you cannot do with direct attached storage (USB/FireWire/eSATA/SAS).
