Idea for Always-On Network Card

Post by TambetVaeli »

Hello!

One thing, which I would do anyway if I build a Computer myself is to redesign the Network Interface so that it would have separate on/auto (turn it on only if computer is on) switch from computer:
- It should support USB stick, where you can ptut a server; it should support one-to-two/three/four cables for several usb sticks.
- And/or SATA connector.
- And/or Cable for internal SATA connector.
- It should have memory on it's own (1 GB).
- A processing device (80 MHz; 1GHz).

Use cases: nobody wants to keep their computer on all the time, but there are many people, who won't switch off the router.

Think poster is referring to NAS drive access via layer 2/3 link to router. That's the only reason I can think to want SATA actively talking to the NIC all the time.
