This is true. 

APU1C comes with an iron plate to be sticked below the APU in order  to 
dissipate the heat.

I can’t really tell why NetGate does not resale APU1C 

Currently there is a problem with the MSata sold by PCEngines which does not 
support TRIM - this has a limited effect on pfSense where TRIM is not activated 
by default. That being said It is not really « normal » for an MSata device not 
to support such function and might reveal some other problems… though so far we 
have noticed 0 problem on such device. 

We have updated the firmware of the 10 units we have received so far. 
We are currently testing the unit with quite good results considering the 
price.

You really don’t need such item - processor is strong enough to handle any kind 
of local VPN (our test shows about 80Mb/s with an OVPN tunnel)…
