Shuttle ds61
-
hello friend, I just registered to ask you something about the DS61 and I'm thinking of buying with an Intel Dual Core G2120 3.1GHz Socket 1155 Box performance should be very good.
sorry for my English because I'm from Spain;)
The IDLE temperature is only 28 ° with the default fan at 1500 rpm? know if you can download the rpm from the BIOS?
Can you tell me if in IDLE recently the fan noise?
I'll have to wait a bit because in Spain still can not find it ..
thanks

¡Hola! ¿Qué tal?
The Bios has fixed RPM settings for "Ultra-Silent" "Silent" "Low" "Max". The second graph with 4C to 6C cooler lines was on "Max" 4250rpm (very loud) while the 28C, 1500rpm resting top graph was on the "Smart-Auto" fan setting. One can't hear the DS61 at 28C, but at max TDP on Smart-Auto, one can hear a slight hum. The fan ramps down extremely quickly once the load (4 thread π generator) was removed.
even so, 70C is lower than my iMac at 77C.
I have one of the units that was air shipped to the USA and payed under $200US, the first sea shipment of 260 was expected 1/3 so Newegg, Provantage, CDW should have stock after January 10th. There are another 400 units expected for the USA in Jan, Feb and March. I don't know the EU's shipping dates.

thank you very much for the info.
I found it on Amazon for shipping to France with Spain so here I will wait a few days and if you can not find it there'll buy Spain.
a greeting

Looks like Provantage has stock too.
-
I bought it in alternate but still has no stock.

I said that once order transport it. I hope it does not take much.
Have you done any more proof? Are you happy with it?
regards

For those who prefer 2.0.2 rather than 2.1 use seedrs's re driver.

Nice system!
The H61 system has enough bandwidth for everything in that system and then some. Good low-power, out-of-sight pfSense box that would be capable of running a few packages on top of it.

Hello to all,
incidentally I came across this very machine which seems to be a neat little thing for pfsensing.
But I have some issues: First of all I had to detach the card reader to prevent a stop while booting (error accessing storage device 9454). No big deal, it is not needed.
But then further during boot process (after loading scsi drivers, I guess) it stops reading from the attached usb disk drive saying something about read errors (and of cause the disk is ok).Any hints?
Best regards, Holger

You need to use the usb stick image to boot / install from usb. I had that too when I tried to put the live cd onto a usb stick and install from that.
-
Yes, I came to the same conclusion, but the device stops booting.
It says ' Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/pfsense'
then 'md0.uzip: 2962 x 65536 blocks'
and stops there without any other message and does not react to any keyboard action.Any idea?
Regards, Holger

OMG!
I used the serial version…
I'll try the 'real' one and report.Holger

It says ' Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/pfsense'
use a usb image, and plug it into the front ports, not the blue usb 3.0 ports in the back.
also note the
da0: <generic 9454="" storage="" device="">Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device SMP: AP CPU #2 Launched!
da0: 40.000MB/s transfersmight claim 40MB, but its attached via usb 2.0 and while I did boot from SD for fun, many of my
usb sticks are faster than the SD card.</generic> -
both ethernets work with seedrs's 2.0.2 driver in nano amd64 too.
here is a nano 2.0.2 amd64 dmesg

I was also looking at the DS61 but found the E drivers most of the time aren't working but after seeing your post I decided to order it :)
What pfsense version are you using on the ds61? -
What pfsense version are you using on the ds61?
I was running esxi and played with several pfsense guests, but now I'm running 2.0.2 non-nano amd64. It seems silly to have LAG and vlans config on the switch, storage and vswitch config in esxi then of all the pfsense config. We are competing with a $75 home router anyway, so how much config fun does one want? :-)
anyway, I have enough stuff on it now to not feel guilty.

In March Shuttle will start shipping DS61 v1.1 with two more USB 2.0 ports on the front.Also a new BIOS is available that during S3 sleep mode, the power consumption is dropped from 10W(old
DS61) to 5W(new DS61-v1.1) to fulfill the new EU requirement. -
I did read about that yes :) Does it run on the same hardware aside from that?
I tried running the 2.1 beta but I think it's far too buggy to run in production as I would get an IP but had no internet, and the 2.0.2 version doesn't work at all because pfsense need at least 1 working interface.I'm now running an esx version on it as it supported all hardware automatically ( which is a miracle on itself seeing vmware does not support much consumer hardware :) )
And I'm now running pfsense inside esx for about 3 days without any problems.

Does it run on the same hardware aside from that?
The bios file is exactly the same:
sum DS61D000-1.203/DOS/DS61D000.203 DS61D000.203/DOS/DS61D000.203
63712 4096 DS61D000-1.203/DOS/DS61D000.203
63712 4096 DS61D000.203/DOS/DS61D000.203so my guess is the MB is exactly the same.
