Firewall Mini PC N100

A N100 is overkill unless you're using upside features. That said they can be very power efficient, mine idles at either 9 or 22 watts, can't remember but it's low. I don't think N100/N150/N250 will make any difference, get whatever is most reliable/power saving in your budget. Mine is a CWWK and it

I went with CWWK Mini PC N100 Firewall Hardware 2 x 10GbE SFP+, 2 x i226V 2.5GbE LAN. I had to add my own SSD and RAM, but both of which I had lying around anyway, so it was put to use. I have a 2 gig fiber connection, and it never bottlenecks it. Not doing a whole lot with it, just some VPN and dyn

You don’t need bigger than an N100 for a 1Gb link. Fanless can be tricky even in an N100 because they still pull 10-15w which means they will run warm without good airflow. I have multiple CWWK systems N5105/N100/N305 and they have been rock solid for years. They are great bang for buck.

No, it's still a NAS. What you would be building is a NAS. SAS is a different type of connection capable of higher speeds, 12GB/s whilst SATA is 6GB/s. Now in a NAS, you're not going to notice this, at all. It's simply the protocol. An SAS HBA (Host Bus Adapter) would simply allow the use of cheaper

CWWK N100 is fine, Just follow all the recommended settings and they just work ! been running N100 16 gb ram, 512 ssd 4 x 2.5 GB intel NICs !

In the ITX N100 world, CWWK is the main player. I have a few systems using the CW-NAD-ADLN-K which was a really popular board but I think has been replaced by the NAS-N150-6P. I wrote a post on STH about squeezing the most out of the board and how to upgrade the BIOS and various firmwares.

I have a dedicated ethernet port on the proxmox node that I can use to reliably access the node even if the router is down. Still, I'm worried that the upgrade process will be in a situation where the router is down but it still needs internet access. Is this a concern? I just moved OPNsense from a

I don't have them around anymore, but they were J-series on N100 CPUs under the Qotom, TopTom and Awow label. I haven't bought CWWK systems in over a year now. I primarily used them to setup pfSense firewalls, or as shop systems in a couple manufacturing clients, and as long as you don't try to add
