New Home Build For 1g connection

Damien KTORZA

Hello,

I'm also looking to get a XG Home machine but with the different posts about compatibility problems I don't know what to take.

I wanted to get the equivalent of an XG-135 with a SuperMicro Atom C3558 motherboard with passive cooling but one person hasn't been able to boot XG Home on it for 3 years.

I found the ASRock J5040-ITX (Intel Pentium Silver J5040 (Quad-Core 2.0 GHz / 3.2 GHz) which is normally much more powerful than the ATOM.

1 Gb/s Fiber (IPS hyperscan mode + web filter + web server protection + maybe AV))

What do the experts think?

sorry I'm doing like this I can't write in this post

    It highly depends on your network, are you going to do any TLS Decryption ?

    What kind of traffic is passing through your network, are most of It TLS ? Any P2P ? Will your firewall also handle VPN connections ?

    Another important thing, since you have a 1Gbit/s connection, will you have any need to get 1Gbit/s over a single connection ? If not, the Intel J5040 is good enough for 1Gbit/s without TLS Decryption.

    Thanks!
