Most clusters of this type have been prove to work better with more RAM 
vs any hard drives. In fact hard drives are generally avoided. EOMA-CF 
Arm SOC + flash for firmware, with as much RAM as possible with 
Ethernet. The 1GB max barrier is a disappointment. The backplanes 
provide the network switching. Two NIC's would be better than one.
