I'm curious to see exactly how much more ram they are putting into the new appliances.
There's rumors of ssd's...frankly i think that's going to bite Sophos in the butt because the smaller capacity ssd's don't have enough spare flash area to bear the number of small writes that things like security appliances do. I'm hoping they stick with hdd's.
210/230 come with 8GB RAM... Sophos learned from the 2GB disaster...
210 has HDD, 230 will have SSD... but you underestimate SSDs... you can rewrite a cell so many times, you won't see it's death due to defective cells... also you don't rewrite over the same cell every time, their internal logic is quite good.

The smaller ones have less over provisioned spare area..plus it's not usually the flash that fails(except for larger ones) it's the controllers. I have another contact that had to stop using any ssd's below 256 gigs due to the write loads that small writes that abound in firewall distros was causing controller failures...and this was less than a year ago.

May I ask which brand he used? I think it's quite depending on the brand, I already wonder what Sophos will use.
And for the provisioned spare area:
