    Hi All,

    Thank you all for your inputs. I do not really think an issue with the negate device. There are just many factor affect the speed/throughput.

    I am going to investigate further on each of the components in the connection.

    Thanks again for the inputs to point me to the direction to investigate further.

    Best Regards

    The older eMMC type cannot bye read by the utility if that's what you're asking. There is no way to allow it.

    A follow-up:
    This is a case of outdated information that has been addressed. If you find this forum and think the drivers aren't compatible please try another USB cable.

    If you really want to get in the weeds you can dig out a multi-meter to verify your Mini-USB cable has all 4 wires and connections made, as well as the shield (the metal on both ends of the cable should register continuity on your multi-meter as well).

    Of course testing those ends is a royal pain so I would just plan on checking other cables. Having a half-dozen mini-USB and microUSB cables lying around is a great thing because you never know when you might need one for something, or two or three somethings at the same time. 🙃

    @stephenw10 My plan is have my 6100 sit in front of my UDM-SE to provide DNS with pfBlocker and Suricata. I have a /29 block from my ISP, so I can just pass of those IPs down to the downstream UniFi network.

    Yes, that. Most people who end up using a lot of memory have just enabled all the feeds in pfBlocker or all the signatures in Snort with no thought to what they actually need.
    I'm running Snort and pfBlocker on a 3100 here and not even using 50% of the 2GB it has but I only selected limited lists.

    @gertjan RE: I don't know why, but I use the NUT package, not the apcupsd version.

    We had been running the NUT package. I think that may only monitor the UPS but doesn't have the capabilities of the apcupsd package.

    We also installed apcupsd on a Windows NUC that's on our LAN. If the power goes out the NUC will get a signal from the software on our 3100 and it too will shut down.

    That's the available space in the pool so I would have to say the capacity that appears to be 'lost' is in the filesystem formatting. I've never really looked into that too deeply though.

    @frog You should just be able to restore, and in the process it will ask which interface/port should be LAN.

    @flynace said in 6100 Crypto Curiosity:

    Silicom M20E3ISLB U.2 LBG-x

    That's in interesting form factor for a crypto device. Obviously that wouldn't fit in a 6100. Theoretically something that was mPCIe based could as long as it was within the power restrictions of the slot. That module almost certainly isn't judging by the size of the heatsink. 😉

    The 6100 SoC already has QAT hardware on-board though. Anything you added would need to be a significant improvement to make it worthwhile.

    Well you'll probably at least see 100Mbps through that. 😉

    I have seen reports of adapters using the axe driver that got close to 1G with USB3. But far more reports of woefully lower results!

    Yup, we only stop building updates when it becomes impractical to do so. So there no 32bit x86 builds any longer for example. Sorry m1n1wall users. 😉
    We are still producing images and pkgs for the SG-1000 though and that was EoL some time ago:

    @slegsonly 40Mbps per apartment on average...
    You'd be fine with the 4100, but I would probably go 6100 so you can grow your ISP speeds in the future.

    We don't charge for performance upgrades after purchase - that's just something the other guys may do. For future-proofing I'd get the 6100. If you're going to do logging get the MAX.

    You can also email sales@netgate.com and have one of our sales reps work with you.
