ZBOX mini PCs for Home Edition

cryptochrome

Hi,

has anyone here ever tried the ZBOX mini PCs for the home edition? They have a few quite powerful models with two LAN ports. They look tempting...

Thanks

    I did not order the CI321, i ordered a CI521 hopefully this build will work.

    Unfortunately i'm still waiting...

    I got it now. but i was not able to install it directly...

    I always got the "Failed getting ISO Disk" error. I tried everything i could (someone actually got it working on a C321 --> https://community.sophos.com/products/xg-firewall/f/135/t/76333)

    I now run WIndows 10 with Hyper-V and a USB-RJ45 Adapter.

    In my case Hyper-V gets Full Controll over the 2 onboard NIC's and Windows 10 only sees the USB Dongle. This Way Windows 10 is only connected to the LAN.

    Performance is ok, but i excpected better. If i enable Phishing Scan every Website takes 10 Seconds before it loads (after the first connect it will work smooth for a short time)

    As i have a 200 Mbps Internet my CPU-Load goes up to 90% while under Speedtest

    I hope there will come a new release with USB3 Support so i can install it directly. It is a shame this device has only USB3 Ports to attach an installation Media.

    As for now it works fine, but i hope for a normal installation in the future

    Cheers
