Home License Hardware recommendation

Julia Berger

Hi everybody,

do you have any (recent) recommendations for hardware for the usage of the Sophos XG Home license? I would prefer something pre-assembled and with a power consumption that stays below 15-20 W in idle. From the connection point of view, 5 or more gigabit Ethernet ports would be required. Concerning the computation resources, I would prefer 4 to 6 GB of RAM and at least two CPU cores, better 4. Does anybody of you have something in use that you can recommend?

    Hi Julia,

    depends on where you live?

    In the US and UK you can order small quad core units with 4 gigabyte ethernet interfaces, 8gb of ram (6 only will be used). Make sure the NICs are NOT 219 type because they are not compatible.

    I bought a unit from China. The only down side is they are not expandable. As a home user go for the 4 cores, real cores not hyper threading.

    There are units that have many ports, but most of those have non XG compatible NICs or those of lower performance.

    Mine came from Aliexpress.
