Ask HN: SSD to Ethernet?
How do I connect an ssd directly to the internet? I want to be able to serve HTML files without processor.
- blakdawg 9y agoYou can't. The physical interfaces aren't compatible, and the protocols used to communicate aren't compatible. You will need physical hardware that's compatible with each side (probably SATA on the SSD side, some flavor of Ethernet on the network side) and an OS/webserver of some sort to translate requests from HTTP to files stored on disk, and to communicate with remote HTTP requestors.
- ParameterOne 9y agoOk, if I used a switch for the IP side then I would only need to put a web server on the SSD board? would that be right?
