Seagate's Free Agent DockStar is a very cheap, nifty little Linux machine with the following features:

  • 1.2 GHz ARM processor
  • 3 USB 2.0 ports
  • 1 USB 2.0 port with a little mini connector allowing the user to just plug in a Seagate FreeAgent Go hard drive
  • 1 Gigabit Ethernet NIC
  • $20 price tag
  • User replacable firmware (who needs a warranty?)


It does have a few small annoyances:

  • Only 128 Mbytes of RAM (256 or 512 would be SO much nicer)
  • No battery backed clock
  • Serial console is hard to get to (but the bootloader and Linux can use the normal Linux network console setup)
