Intel has released its first storage-optimized Atom-based platform for networked home and SOHO storage devices.

The D410 single-core and D510 dual-core chips run Windows Home Server and Linux.

LaCie, LG Electronics, QNAP, Synology and Thecus are using the platform, which includes six PCI Express lanes, 12 USB 2.0 ports, a port multiplier function and eSATA ports for adding peripheral devices and expanding storage capacity outside of the box. It has hot-plug capabilities and an integrated gigabit Ethernet MAC controller too.
