Areca 1880 series posted

Nice pic Steve, thanks for posting it btw.
They still havent released the ram specifications outside of what was already given, so i pulled the trigger on the ram i found at newegg..gonna risk it.

My controller should be here wednesday at the latest. they are due in monday, and 2 day shipping. If it doesnt come in until tuesday they will overnight it free. that is a hell of a deal, so i switched my order to acemicro.

I found out from a guy over at another forum that works for an areca distributor that the areca is shipping with a PowerPC ROC. so they definitely arent going with the Marvell, but he wont reveal why, NDA and such. I am waiting for a reply as to what model # etc of the powerpc, but it is kind of a moot point, i will find out shortly.

what is interesting though is he stated this :

Well, the first batch of 1880 we are receiving will most likely come with PowerPC chipset.

'most likely'??? wondering if its a good source or not.

EDIT:


Power PC 440 roc.
