Hiya all,

Designing a new thin client solution for a client using the Intel NUC...

As the unit is going to be a fully managed thin client, performance hardware is not needed.

The NUC I have chosen is the Intel NUC BLKDE3815TYKH0E Intel Atom Single Core Barebone Unit...

I have built our test unit using this NUC and it performs brilliantly as the unit is only being used for RDP to the server.

The specs are as follows:

Intel NUC BLKDE3815TYKH0E Intel Atom Single Core Barebone Unit
2GB DDR3 SODIMM
32GB SanDisk SSD (cheapest available)

Now for the QUESTION!!!

CAN I ditch the SSD and use the onboard 4GB eMMc storage for Windows 7 Embedded (Thin Client) image??? Will 4GB be enough???

Drivers are not so large but thats the question as I would love to ditch the SSD, save some money and push up the profits a little bit.

Thanks

Cinderz
 
was basically a big fat NO!!!

Intel said it can only be used for linux installations which sucks as I have my Win 7 E 32bit down to 2.7gb installed.... nevermind... will have to still use the ssd options then...

cheers
 
how much are you paying for your 32GB sandisk?

edit: can you fit a mSATA SSD in your thin client?
If so, 16gb ones can be had for around £15.
 
How much are the NUCs setting you back? You could always look at an RDP based thin client if that's purely what they're being used for.
 
The NUCs are really cheap to be fair, less than 80 quid... but its a fully managed client.. so it connects to our RMM system and we can monitor the NUC/thin client and the RDP session in real time... its the way it is designed.
