Here is the shopping list...
- Intel NUC D34010WYK1 Intel 4th Gen Core i3
- Crucial M500 120GB mSATA Internal Solid State Drive CT120M500SSD3
- Crucial 8GB Kit DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CT2CP51264BF160B
- Lenovo USB 2.0 Ethernet LAN Adapter (U2L100P-Y1)
I already had the Lenovo USB adapter on hand so my total UTM cost was $463. I also picked up a couple of AP-30's on ebay for $85 and $110 to round out the solution. During install I also used a USB DVD drive that was sitting around.
Installed from latest_asg_v9_software.iso which in this case was version 9.205-12. I got an error during install that there was only one NIC found, but after the system rebooted with UTM it saw the USB NIC fine.
Performance seems fine. I have a lot of devices floating around, but my internet speed is only 25/10. There are 38 of 50 IP's active according to the license manager.
Active Roles:
- Firewall
- IPS
- Web Filtering
- Network Visibility
- Wireless Protection
- Antivirus
- AntiSpyware
Stats:
- Weekly CPU average: 3%
- Weekly Mem average: 13%
So in the end, the hardware is probably over the top, but it meets my primary requirements of tiny and quiet. If Intel ever comes out with a dual NIC NUC I think it would power all UTM's going forward [:)]
Hope this helps fellow UTM rookie's get started.
