Hardware Requirments / SSD Support?

Hello all

I’m planning to build a Home-Office ASG out of the following components:

Chassis Supermicro CSE-513L-260B (schwarz) 
Mainboard Supermicro X7SPE-H-D525
2.5" Hard Drive Mounting Kit Supermicro CSE-PT73
Risercard Supermicro RSC-RR1U-E16
Memory Supermicro Kingston ValueRAM, 2 GB, DDR3-1066, CL7, SODIMM
Disc OCZ OCZ SSD Vertex 2 Extended Cap. 60GB, SATA-II, 2,5 Zoll, MLC
NIC HP HP NC7170 Dual Port PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter (available already)

Can anyone confirm that the above hardware would work for ASG V8.1 ?

Requirements for four (4) users would be (full program of):
- xDSL Access 20/2 Mb
- Firewall (40 Rules and 1 GB throughput)
- HTTP(S) Proxy, dual Virus scanning
- POP3 Proxy, dual Virus scanning (no SMTP Proxy)
- IDP
- VLAN Support
- Syslog logging
- SSL VPN
- Websecurity
- DMZ with Torent/Mule & Co.

In detail I would be very interested if anybody has some experience with SSD’s (reliability / long term performance / …). As far as I know ASG does support Trim as of V8 – right? 

Please find below the product link to the SSD I would like to use:
OCZ Vertex 2 SATA II 2.5" SSD OCZ Technology
Thanks in advance for and comments, hints and thoughts….

Regards 
Blm

  • Hi BLM,
    I agree with William that an Atom isn't going to give you anywhere near Gb throughput with the IPS, etc., between LANs.
    And 2-4GB RAM should be plenty.

    For enough performance and reasonable electric load, look at the lower-wattage i5 or Sandy Bridge CPUs.
