Windows 10 on netbox

Did a Windows 10 upgrade thru Windows Update on an FoxConn NT-535 Netbox a few days ago.  Slow.  Disk drive was only a 5400 rpm Western Digital 160gb SATA-1. Yes, SATA one! Do not recommend this setup for any sort of disk I/O speed!  Processor is an Intel Atom D525 dual core 1.8GHz.  System has 4gb DDR3 so-dimm memory and was already running Windows 8.1.  Video is VGA or HDMI running on Intel HD 3150 controller. This was the longest install I have done, almost an hour and a half.  Yes, 5400 RPM SATA-1 drive needs replaced badly!   Performance of the CPU and memory are fine, actually pretty impressed with that Atom processor, bottleneck is disk I/O for sure.  Disk Cache software helps but still feels slow.  I installed an Intel 802.11N miniPCI wireless board, only one antenna connector in case but signal strength is still very good. 

This netbox case is pretty cool, very small and love how it snaps on to the back of any VESA mount monitor or TV.  Case bracket screws to the VESA mounting holes and case just snaps into the bracket.  Supports both the VESA mount standards too.   With USB on top and bottom of the case, access is not an issue when adding flash drive or replacing any USB device.  Slick setup, not a fan of the piano black but once behind a monitor you don't see it.  I think it shows finger prints too easy.

Had no install issues other than slloooowwwwww disk I/O.  All necessary drivers were found and installed by the update.  Highly recommend this case setup, add SSD drive and this thing would fly and be perfect for HTPC or ultraSFF.
