MinnowBoard Turbot Dual Ethernet systems!
-
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

Just set mine up last night. Hope you are ok with fan noise because depending on your environment, you will definitely notice it. Maybe it's just me as I get older and crankier. Ugh…
Edit: spelling
-
yeah… that was a fear of mine... my sg2220 has spoiled me i wondered how loud this was going to me
thanks for the warning!

I use Minnowboard Dual-e with the fan unplugged ;) It's designed to throttle down in case it overheats.

Yeah, I wondered about this. Nice tip, thanks ivor. I unplugged it yesterday.
-
Sure. Here's another tip, use adapter like this to have console access:

You can push cable through the case grill (after you open the case). I don't always keep monitor on or nearby, console is far more practical.

what temp does the quad run @ with the fan going then removed?
from the pictures this is a heatsink/ fan combo correct?
2nd question. i should be able to restore a back from a sg2220 to this device and it work exactly the same correct?
-

Completely agree. I ordered this one same time I ordered the board:

Before unplugging: 32C
After unplugging: 56C
Noise level difference: priceless :)
Also, I didn't remove the fan just unplugged it.
