SATA mini SSD install question
-
There are some systems designed specifically to handle dynamic content like youtube. I know of nothing that handles netflix or hulu content or the like, but I bet it would save a ton of bandwidth for bandwidth strapped people in under-developed areas. Some places only have one connection per school or village and if they could get 20% or 30% caching, it would be great. For me, this 5% is trivial and barely worth having, but the drive was in the machine and the RAM was there, so why not.

thanks all for the reply's guys friend dropped me a laptop drive off only an 80gig but as i stated before i dont need a lot of space so i suppose that's saved me a few more quid lol just waiting on a PCI-E NIC card to come now then i can get my system up and running

Does it have a built in wired LAN port?
If it has 1, I might rather buy a VLAN switch that another NIC.
Depends on the money you want to spend and what you want to do.(Never mind - I had this idea that you were using a laptop)

hi yes it has a built in Gbit port but this will be what i use from my ADSL modem the second connection will be usb tethering or possibly wifi bridging (would still be usb though) and then the second lan (card im waiting on) will be what goes to a 8port switch to send to all my devices
using this motherboard http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H61M-ITX with this http://ark.intel.com/products/53483 2gig ram and going to order one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gigabit-Ethernet-LAN-PCI-E-Express-Network-Desktop-Controller-Card-10-100-1000M-/370609903586?pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_InterfaceCards&hash=item564a1257e2

Thats a fantastic board. Should last forever.
I'd have gotten a dual port or quad port intel NIC for that 1 PCI slot and been done with it, but OK.
Why do you have to use USB for anything?

Because my second connection (20meg) the USB one is from my mobile, i have an unlimited mobile plan with tethering support so going to take advantage of it so it needs to be done either via USB tethering or via wifi Bridging which id do by recycling my alfa dongle

Ummmmm. I might opt for wifi, not know the compatibility of a USB dongle. Is it for sure supported for you in pfsense? (I don't know)
