Sophos XG Home use - mini PC recommendation

I'm running one of these kits:

Embedded Quad Core AMD Jaguar @ 1Gig With AES-NI

4 Gigs of RAM

Super low power and quick!

You can typically get board, SSD, case, PS for around $200

Good luck!

Hi Rogue,

I like your post, but will it work on AMD ?

Isn't XG firewall only Intel compatible?

Hi,

most of the newer AMD chips are Intel compatible in fact Intel actually incorporate some AMD features in their chips.

The pondesk box looks like excellent value. Looking at the specifications would put it around the top of an XG135/220 series.

Of course, totally compatible! Works great!

My Sophos XG hardware is HP T620 Plus AMD GX420CA CPU also supports AES instructions

How did you manage for the second nic required by xg?

T620 Plus have a PCIE slot so I installed a Intel 4 Port NIC, it also has MSTAT connector and 2 SODIMM slots.

My T620 Plus has 8G RAM, 256G MSTAT drive, Intel 4 port NIC and power consumption is 14w

Average monthly CPU usage about 5% and memory usage is about 37%, my connection is HFC 100/40
