note:
Dockstar does indeed have more USB ports, but that can be solved easily enough with a USB hub on the GoFlex. Hardware-wise, as far as I can tell it's basically the same (1.2ghz ARM, 128MB RAM, 512MB flash), with the big exception being the SATA ports for the drives. Both are hackable. Software-wise, I think the GoFlex Net is running a different OS (at least I read that somewhere.... haven't looked into it much), and may have an extra feature or two. Tempting to get one of these and boot to a SATA HDD instead of booting to a flash drive. I had a hacked DockStar and the boot flash drive wore out rather quickly and I haven't gotten around to hacking a new setup yet. But it was nice having Asterisk support and an ATA set up for VoIP via Google Voice calls...
