Is there a document that details these difference for all the models ie 120,320,450 etc?
Customers are asking us what revision they have and its tough trying to distinguish this without prying it out of the rack. If I knew I could just look at a 120 and spot gigbit connection than I know its Rev X.
It would be nice to see astaro put a document together and at least publish it int he partner portal.
Rev.4 -> Rev.5: only increased ram (from 1gb to 2gb)
Rev.3 -> Rev.4: different CPU (from p4 to celeron) and gigabit ports (in rev.3 only 10/100 mbit)
Rev.2 -> Rev.3: increased ram (from 512mb to 1gb) but I don't know if there are also other differences.
Rev.2 cannot support v9. The best for v9 is rev.5 since it uses a lot of memory.
An old 220 had a single core processor; the Rev. 5 has a dual core Celeron (I believe at about or the same speed, just two cores instead of one), and 2GB of RAM... those are the important differences. Oh, and the old units used plain DDR RAM, the new ones use DDR3, and the drives are now SATA-2 instead of IDE.
