Tranquil PC Announce SQA-5H Series 2 Home Server

By on January 7, 2010 in Hardware, Windows Home Server

News from the UK that Tranquil PC are now shipping an updated SQA-5H Home Server, with the new dual core Intel Atom D510 processor. Performance wise, this should provide similar speeds to the previous model but using a lot less power.

Tranquil PC are pleased to announced the immediate availability of the SQA-5H Series 2 Home Servers.

The established 5x HDD Home Server systems are powered by the latest D510 CPUs from Intel.  This latest CPU is a two chip solution (The D510 – CPU/GFX and the NM10 – I/O) – compared to the previous regular 3 chip solution.  This new CPU + controller has a total TDP of 15W – over 50% power saving when compared to the original systems.

Running the very latest builds of Windows Home Server (PP3) from Microsoft and the AVA Media Add In, the SQA-5H are ideal not only for Home Server duties, but as a tool for automatically creating and centralising your Home Media

The SQA-5H Series 2 systems are now available – and are shipping at the same prices as the original SQA-5H Home Servers

    Ordered the old version a couple of days ago directly from TranquilPC and got an email asking if I'd like to upgrade my order to the new "Series 2" -version. Great service!

    I'm interested in the performance if this new board. Maybe it's worth while to swap the board in my old SQA-5H … Any thoughts??

      Speed performance will be similar – they key difference will be a greatly reduced power consumption – depending on what you need, it may or not be worth it.

    I spoke to these guys the other day, they told me that it would be released this week but would be slightly more expensive.

    Nah, I probably need a bit more speed. Adding TwonkyMedia Server turns the machine into an absolute dog…

    I just wonder how they put the 5x SATAII in there. Pine Tril only supports 2x SATAII…

    Which Mainboard & Raidcontroller they are using?

    Intel D510MO only have 2 x SATA and a PCI Slot (Raid-Controller in the PCI Slot is not the best solution think I)
