Part 2 is now being posted. I've had to split it up into 3 sub-part due to the 10 image limit on blog posts.

nice. did you test the 4 sata ports ALL at the same time, I've seen cards with 4 ports that can only run 2 ports at the same time.

the sd card slot placement is a bit arsey. Seems more like a bullet point fixture than functional :(

I've tested three at the same time and it worked. I suspect all four would work at the same time as it'd be awfully strange for three to work but not four.

Part 3 is now being posted. Again I've have to split it up into parts as there's a 10000 character limit per blog entry.

Oh the suspense! OS 4.1 sounds a little disappointing really. Can't wait to hear the final conclusion after these first few impressions.  :)

Thanks Micheal. Not having any personal experience with AOS4, its nice to read your comments on your new purchase.

Great review.

Looking forward to the conclusion.
After my A1 G4 os4 hardware died, I keep looking for more info on new os4 hardware.
Enjoy your os4 hardware.
