<div dir="ltr">So if SeaCat is $45..  and you keep the mSata, and instead of the mPCIe port, toss on a nic chip, or two or four, or whatever..   plus the ports.  I would think something topping out in the $60-$75 makes sense; not knowing the cost of the nic ports or the controller chip.  the PCIe bus could handle that with no issues and if they are gig ports, you could do a lot with 4 of them on there.  I think it might be hard to fit mSata, mPCIe AND some ports on the same lure, but there are options.<br>

    the big question here is how much are people willing to pay for such

        <div>I also have the same need for multiple NICs - at least 3,

          routing-related functions commonly need multiple NICs.  If you

                      when we did the design for Max this type of
                      application wasn't really a target, but it is
                      certainly flexible enough to support this use
                      case. we'd just need to get the right combination
                      of features on a lure with the right price and
                      size...<br>
                      <br>
                      i'd suggest for anyone interested in this type of
                      Lure, that they provide feed back over on the
