          @Mark_07 Awesome! That's good news. Enjoy the extra space you'll have on that SG-3100.

              @Mark_07 Just be aware, that since most of the internet is now behind HTTPS encryption, that doesn't get cached by Squid. It can't see it, it can't read it, it can't cache it.

              Just google "https squid cache", there's a ton of hits for it. Some hacks to get it working, maybe, but I think most people simply give up.

                  @akuma1x Sorry, just noticed all the responses to the thread. I'm mainly asking out of curisosity.

                  The 32GB built-in version should be plenty for me, but I can see myself wanting to upgrade in the future to either a larger or faster M.2 drive if I start using a lot of packages.

                    Just to let you know I installed my M.2 install went perfectly fine :)

                      @Mark_07 Did you format and reinstall pfsense onto the new M.2 drive? Otherwise, it will still boot and run from the internal on-board storage.

                        Yeah you kind of have to, it sets the SSD as the default boot device once it's installed. Disk is showing 108GB
