Sophos XG Home use - mini PC recommendation

All,

 

Looking for recommendation on a low cost mini PC, fanless is possible, to run Sophos XG with 400mbps throughput.

I have contacted Zotac but their mini C series have 1 Intel and 1 Realtek NICs.

 

Thanks for your help.

    I got this Atom  mini PC from Pondesk in UK, a few days ago

     

    https://www.pondesk.com/product/Intel-Atom-E3845-4-LAN-3G4G-HD-Fanless-Firewall-Router_MNHO-048

     

    4 intel nics (i211)

    VGA port ( good to have for installation and troubleshooting if no web access)

    wifi (+/- 3g or 4 g module) in case of change of use

    in less than 24 hours in my home from delivery (London to Athens -Greece)

    I tested it's consumption, it is around 6.5 - 7 Watts in my setup (home)

     

     

    I have no idea about performance at 400mbps

     

     

     

     

    I too have purchased one of these units and few good.  Currently fitted with 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD.  I've put Untangle on it for now following a dire experience with Unifi's offerings.

     

    Sophos XG Home is of particular interest though.

  • I've now got it installed (but yet to configure it) - I used a new image SW-17.5.11_MR-11-661.iso  and didn't get the same problem.

    The ebay seller  "ukdigitalelectronics" I used was very helpful, to the extent that he installed a copy onto box at his end to prove it wasn't a hardware problem - so recommended seller on that front.
