Hi guys,
what are you thinking about this hardware 4 pfSense:
Supermicro SuperChassis 813MTQ-R400CB
- Mainboard X10SLM-F
- CPU Xeon E3-1220 V3 CPU, 3.1 GHz, Quad Core
- RAM DDR3-1600, 8192 MB, ECC Unbuffered
- HDD 2x 1 TB, SATA 6 Gb/s, 7.200 // with**GEOM Mirror
- LAN 2x Onboard + INTEL Quad Ethernet Server Adapter I350-T4v2??
P.S.: I want to write a lot of log files.(Squid/Sarge…and some more...) So i don't know if an SSD is the right thing ?
What are you thinking about this things?
greetings Tom - need help

With this hardware it will be a real bomb! Powerfull enough to run ally things!
- HDD - 2x 1 TB, SATA 6 Gb/s, 7.200 // with**GEOM Mirror
Go with an Samsung840 Pro 256 GB or a similar good one that is fast an supports TRIM.

Hi,
is the paket processing slower with an hdd? (I write a lot of logfiles with squid/sarge usw…)
What advantages has an ssd (except boot time) ?
Greetings Tom.

Update:
-use an LSI Megaraid 9260-4i instead of gmirror

Expecting that you are not only writing logfiles with the Squid Proxy server but you want to cache
files with him, a SSD is speeding up massively things in pfSense.-use an LSI Megaraid 9260-4i instead of gmirror
If this device is supported and you got a cache module and BBU for it, why not?
Why you want to build a RAID inside of your pfSense firewall? -
I would go with a single enterprise class SSD vs. a RAID array of spinners; no moving parts, less heat, better reliability, lower power usage, and longer runtime on UPS.
