XG85 memory issues

I'm having the same problem.  Can we crack open the box and add more memory?  Can we repurpose a PC with more horsepower and transfer the license?

Hi folks,

there is another thread about the XG85 being EOL because of the memory issues with the latest V17.x and you should talk to your reseller/partner about maybe a very heavily discounted upgrade.

I've been quoted a 115W but it's about what I bought the 85W for a year ago.

What are the technical differences between the two?  i.e. processor and memory differences?

Where is this thread to be found? Is this information anyhow stated by Sophos officially?

I am not surprised.  The 85 and 105 are basically identical.  The 105 has a slightly higher clocked processor and bigger drive.  Still has only 2GB RAM.  The 115 starts at 4GB RAM.  I have seen a chart somewhere around with the processors, memory and drives in each.

The out of memory is supposedly IPS signature updates.  You have to turn auto updates off. Fix is in v17.1 Beta 2 I think.

The TEMP space problem is still being looked at.  I have slowed it down turning off Invalid Traffic logs and the tslogs purge daily.  OF course my XG85 was rebooting every couple of days so I couldn't watch over time till now.

Has anyone opened one up to see if the ram and drive can be upgraded or whether they are soldered on?

On Rev.1 Devices, XG85 had soldered RAM while XG105 had replacable Memory. 

While not mentioned as EOL, but replaced due to hardware sizing.
