USB ports?
-
I've just decided to upgrade from my very old PC chassis to the SG-4860 pfSense box - it's arriving Monday. The SG4860 has a couple of USB ports - I'm wondering what these would be useful for on a firewall? I'm just curious about them, does anyone use these?

Congratulation.

Yes and this might be a good choice as I see it right.

Be patient and be sure this might be a good choice.
I'm just curious about them, does anyone use these?
And I am pretty sure that we use them all more or less.
- USB > Serial console
- USB pen drive re-installation or update/upgrade
- USB stick 3G/UMTS/HSPA/LTE modem for mobile or as a fall back case
- USB stick for logging and storing logfiles
- USB WLAN accessories usage
- USB GPS devices
- USB to LAN devices adapter
- USB temperature logger
- USB KVM switches
So you will see there are many cases a USB port should be fine to own.

Thanks for the reply - that sort of confirms what I'd suspected.
