![]() ![]() I assume small diameter fans at a higher RPM are more reliable for enterprise environments? However thanks to the extensive BIOS settings I was able to change all the fans from a manual max RPM setting to an automatic thermally controlled setting, which has reduced the noise by probably 90% which is great! I will have to see how loud it gets under a resource load though.my guess is that the manual fan settings are more reliable for enterprise environments because it bypasses the thermal sensor(s) which is just another potential point of failure. I was concerned about the excessive noise level of the cooling fans, they are small and run at a very high RPM which is not ideal for in-home use so I thought I was going to have to install a vent on the top of the case with a large diameter low RPM fan. The BIOS is very interesting with all sorts of settings I have never seen before on a consumer grade main board. I tried upgrading the RAM to 8GB but the BIOS would not post so I put the OEM 4GB back in. Its running a 500GB WD5003ABYX that I replaced with a 120GB Kingston A400 SSD using a 2.5" surface mount drive caddy. Things are looking promising so far for running pfSense on Untangle hardware, I opened up the enclosure and chipped away the adhesive on the hard drive connections. ![]() I am unable to get the ISP to drop another connection or ONT to this address, so I am still trying to work with what I have. I have not figured out what all this means for limitations in running a VPN behind my landlords router/firewall yet, but I can still create a subnet for myself. ![]() The u150 seems like the winner, much faster throughput! Thoughts? Would be nice if the firewall supported PoE too.possibly the Untangle? VPN Throughput: 78Mbps (3DES) – 14Mbps (SSL) ![]() I may even be able to upgrade the HDD to a SSD, I can run pfSense on Untangle hardware.right?įirewall Throughput: 350Mbps (LAN-to-WAN) I know you can buy a mini-PC with multiple NICs to run pfSense but this u150 has high quality NICs. However the u150 has a dual-core processor with 4GB of RAM and a 7200rpm HDD so that should be capable of running pfSense. The FV336G only has a 300MHz processor and 64MB of DRAM so that will not run pfSense either. The DFL-260E only has a 266MHz processor (Intel xScale IXP425), some appear to have come with a 532MHz Intel xScale IXP435 but that is barely going to cut it. ![]()
