*Unofficial* Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)

BarryG

Update: There is no longer an official Sophos HCL for the UTM, but the XG HCL is 99% the same for UTM.

The OFFICIAL Sophos / Astaro UTM HCL is currently at http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/118185.aspx
As it does not contain all possible hardware, I've created this thread...

Please don't post questions like "will X work?" here. Open a new thread if you have a question about buying hardware not already mentioned here.
Open a new thread if you have an installation or other question.

Update: This thread is for system configurations. If you'd like to mention a single component such as a NIC or RAID controller, please post in https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/52/t/27166

If you are having trouble with installation, please open a new thread unless you are sure that the hardware is incompatible, and if it is incompatible, be specific, e.g. "fails to detect disk", etc. Know how to use ALT-F3 etc. Ask questions in a new thread if you're not sure.


I propose that we post here with our tested system configurations, Astaro versions, and success or problems, using this template:

Template for copying/pasting:
Status: [Working|NOT Working], currently using at [Home|Work|Client]
Astaro Version(s) tested: 
System OR Motherboard: 
BIOS version: 
CPU:
RAM: 
Disk Controller 1: 
Disk Controller 2: 
Network Interfaces: 
VLAN support: (unknown|untested|no|working)
Video Controller: 
Hard Disk: (optional but please at least specify SATA/PATA/SCSI/SAS)
Optical Drive: (optional)
Case/Chassis: (optional)
Power Supply:  (optional)
What's not working: e.g. SATA doesn't work but IDE does
Total Power Consumption (in Watts, if known): [measured|estimated based upon...] please do not use the power supply rating
Total Cost: (optional, please specify currency, retail|used, and date)
Comments / Notes: (please include your Internet connection speed)


Note I used 'lscpi' to get the controllers information.
Note that one can EDIT their post later to add changes/corrections instead of posting a 'correction' post.

Also see IPS Throughput benchmarks at: https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/52/t/29110


Please don't post questions like "will X work?" here. Open a new thread if you have a question about buying hardware not already mentioned here.


Thanks!
Barry

    Status: Working-stable, using in home environment
    Astaro Version(s) tested: UTM Home 9.3550-1 plus several earlier versions
    System OR Motherboard: SuperMicro X10SLM+LN4F-O
    BIOS version: R 3.0
    CPU: Intel Core i3 4170 (SilverStone NT07-115x Super Slim Profile CPU Cooler)
    RAM: 32GB 8GBx4 Crucial(Micron) CT2KIT102472BD160B
    Disk Controller 1: onboard
    Disk Controller 2: onboard
    Network Interfaces: Quad Intel i210AT
    VLAN support: Yes, not using
    Video Controller: BMC integrated Aspeed AST2400
    Hard Disk: Samsung SATA SSD
    Optical Drive: Pioneer-temp only for Sophos installation
    Case/Chassis: SilverStone ML04B
    Power Supply:  SeaSonic SSR-360GP 360W
    What's not working: So far everthing I've used is working
    Total Power Consumption (in Watts, if known): Going off memory, but I think 30-40 watts, roughly
    Total Cost:  $600+ retail, late 2015
    Comments / Notes: Solid as a rock after proper setup/burn-in.  Overkill for my use case and the hardware use/graphs reflect that, but it was purchased with expansion in mind.  I'm writing this up well after the fact, but I recall the Sophos installation being seamless and not having run into too many hurdles getting this going.  My internet connection speed is 100/10Mbit and I get every bit of that as far as I've seen, most features enabled.  Runs super quiet, but had to set fan thresholds via IPMI tool.  Added 2 Noctua NF-R8 fans to the case for airflow.
