Differences between Snap models
A long time ago, Andy made a very informative post about the different Snap models, and what they were (and were not) capable of doing. Either my search-fu is weak or that posting has been lost to the sands of time.
The question that continues to come up (for me anyway) is which models are SaS, IDE or SATA. The price on the older Snap models has pretty much hit rock bottom since RAID servers can be had for a pittance from a variety of sources. Even at the low price, these models are always questionable (at least to me) because many sellers do not include sleds, drives, and OS. With only a limited supply of IDE<->SATA adapters, buying a Snap that only supports impossible to find IDE drives is almost always going to be a bad investment.
The wiki - when it was online - never included data about what kind of drives were used, nor which sleds were interchangable between which models.
