ASG320 Question

Greetings,

I have been running UTM9 on a small Celeron based evice for some time. I am now looking at moving my Sophos system into a rack and rather than build a new machine I have the opportunity to acquire an ASG320 at a nominal cost.

Can someone tell me what is the general noise level of this system? It will be located in a separate closed off room next to my home office so it does not have to be whisper quiet by any means but hopefully it is not any louder than the two proliant DL380G6 servers which are also in the same rack.

The other question I have is whether it will be possible to replace the hard drive with an ssd? I have not been able to find a specification of which type of hard drive is installed.

Many thanks

  • Hi, Per-Olof, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Noise would be about the same for the latest 320 release.  I wouldn't think there would be any advantage in changing out the hard drive.

  • Thanks Bob!

    I used to hang around the old Astaro forum so I'm not a complete noob. :)

    After posting I discovered the 320 uses IDE drives so replacement wouldn't have been an option anyway.

    I have now bought an UTM220 rev 5 with 4 gigs of RAM instead. Should be great. I guess you're right about the non-benefit from replacing the mechanical drive.
