Hello,
As I work as a network and system engineer, I've installed a Sophos UTM at home, running on an old computer :
Atom D510 with 2 network cards ( one on the motherboard, a Realtek) and an additionnal PCI Intel Network card.
I have a 25 Mbps/1Mbps VDSL connection.
The motherboard seems to have reliability problems, so I'm planning to change the hardware and I would like to buy hardware that will last and be able to handle an increased load : I think that in the next 2 years, I'll have a Fiber 500 Mbps/200 Mbps connection.
I have selected this hardware :
1 x SuperMicro A1SAi-2750F mother board
2 x Kingston ValueRAM SO-DIMM 8 Go DDR3L 1333 MHz ECC CL9
1 x Akasa Galileo case
1 x Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120 Go for storage
I don't really care if I'm stuck at 100 Mbps per connection, but there is about 30 network devices in my house.
What do you think of this hardware ? The key feature here is that it is absolutely noise less and that is a key component here for me.
