Both units are capable of gigabit throughput. If you want to run VPN and IDS-IPS, quad core model is a better choice!

Those are different devices than these which have been withdrawn previously?

Still feature an HDMI port, is that working correctly now (was declared a FreeBSD issue previously). -

Still feature an HDMI port, is that working correctly now (was declared a FreeBSD issue previously).Why use HDMI for a console port? Why not USB, as Cisco does? Cisco uses USB to connect to an internal USB-serial converter, so that a serial terminal program can be used. They use mini USB, but micro might be more appropriate these days.

Not just a firewall. Can run windows, be used for digital signage, etc.

That means trouble with accessing console if device was booted without screen connected.
that can be fixed in future.
I am using Serial console on it, hooked up into FTDI SerialThat's all.
In general my MBT-4220 Aka. SG-2340 works like a charm.
actually running pfSense 2.4 beta, however there is a way to instal pfSense 2.3.4 by injecting UEFI freebsd loader (You need to know FreeBSD basics), or by installing Coreboot/Seabios instead of existing UEFI (but keep spi flash programer near if you brick bios, you will need flash it using programer)I did some performance routing tests , device will handle 1Gig link routing without any problems, with AES-NI accelerated IPsec i was able keep stable AES256-GCM tunnel with ~340 Mbps .
What i am worry about is using SNORT/Suricata , as rules are memory hungry and this device have only 2 GiB RAM.
I strongly advise against using ZFS on this device as ZFS is well known as memory hungry FS. -

so if my sg2220 decides to go out. this would probably be my next purchase
i don't like the reviews of the SG1000 so far. and a 4 port model is too expensive for my tastes.
thank you for posting this.. i will need to look around for more reviews on this..
EDIT. dang it won't work on windows 7. there goes using it for my ubnt NVR replacement device :(

We had a discussion about the smaller end of the market under "Official Hardware".
I believe that the APU2 devices fill this gap better and cheaper.
I would prefer to use Netgate Hardware when possible, however.. -
We are working on it :)
-
I don't doubt that for a minute. Overall this project is very impressive

ARM

Several factors like CPU type (not just desktop CPU), engineering and design, RAM, storage matter. This little board is a lot better quality than Qotom or similar 3rd party vendors.

this is available on Amazon, and it says its from Netgate. is that true?
-
Yes

The devices in stock are now sold via Amazon. -

Amazon is really working themselves into a pickle with all of the fake and counterfeit products they are allowing, aren't they.
I was just shopping for an EOtech holosight - about a $550 part - and all of the comments said they were Chinese knockoffs. EOtechs are made in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I did not buy from Amazon.

Just for clarification: I e-mailed with Jamie Thompson (owner of Netgate LLC) about delivery of those devices to Europe so I was confident that this offer on a-z is legit. FWIW
-
i didn't subscribe to the thread…. ok so they should be legit good to know. i still want a backup router, and Netgate hasn't posted any updates on new products i may end up going this way
@Derelict Aimpoint FTW :)

Just ordered the quad, looking forward to this device
