      I have been running my SG-1100 for just under 3 years now. But with a number of threads talking abut eMMC lifetime expiring, I ran the mmc-utils package. My 1100 reports 100-110% used! It is still working fine but do not want to wait until it fails. My assumptions are 1) eMMC can't be replaced on 1100. 2) if I don't want a perfectly good appliance to just get too old, I need to get a appliance with SSD. 3) The closest SSD appliance to the 1100 would be the 2100.
      Have I missed the boat anywhere? If I purchase a 2100, will the 1100's config need to be converted?
      Thanks for any help and insight.

        @jerryf72 Yes but Netgate will convert it for you if you open a free ticket. (the 1100 uses VLANs on its switch). They will probably ask if you actually use the OPT port or if they can ignore that.

        In a pinch, I've seen posts about using a USB stick as storage on an 1100.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            @michmoor it’s a FreeBSD package not a pfSense package:

            Edit: available in Plus presumably since non-Netgate devices are unlikely to use eMMC storage.

                Just for reference some early 1100s used an eMMC chip that the utillity cannot read ware data from so you might see that.
                Those show as:
                Extended CSD rev 1.6 (MMC 4.5)
