I am talking about PCEngine's ref : http://www.pcengines.ch/msata16a.htm As stated : « Currently on shipment hold . Some customer reported problems leading to data loss, e.g. with Sophos UTM. We finally managed to duplicate the problem. We suspect that it is related to the TRIM function included in modern file systems (e.g. Linux EXT4). » This ref has problem with TRIM. So you might want to wait for the problem to be solved (which might probably be « never ») or find another ref. > >> 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. >> >>> Also does anyone know of a crypto accelerator board for the APU2?

Of course if you operate a 100Mb full duplex line from your home this won’t be sufficient… ;-) But, to get back to the question « does anyone know of a crypto accelerator board for the APU2? » —> I am not aware of such device for the time being. > > Jim ________________________________________________ «?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Your provider of OpenSource Appliances www.osnet.eu ________________________________________________ «?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ PGP ID --> 0x1BA3C2FD _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
