ZOTAC ZBOX MI522 NANO Decent Hardware for UTM 9

AliGomaa

Hi There,

Before I pull the trigger, on buying this hardware, does anyone have any advice regarding this Zbox MI522? It's for a family of 5, with the usual xbox, Media Streaming, (Netflix, Amazon Fire) I don't think I'll be enabling Web filtering, but I will be using it for a Point to Point VPN connection with a friend who's also using UTM 9. Running cable 50 Down/5 up

Thanks,

    hey,


    think its oversized..

    a zotac zbox CI323 should be ok. put in 8GB RAM and a 120 GB SSD and you are fine  :-)

    i run a CI 321 at my home without any problems.. 1 IPSEC-Tunnel to my work and the usual (streaming, Amazon, surfing....)

    Hi Zaphod,

    So the Celron processor will be okay? I read a few other threads that always recommended the core i3

    If you dont use all features from UTM it will be ok...

    the smaller CI 321 is ok for me.. never got a cpu problem....  i have webfiltering enabled ;-)

    at least its your decision... i think the ci323 is enough.... 8 GB RAM and a SSD is important...

    Gotcha, yeah I don't think I really need to enable IPS, I'm more concerned about point to point VPN throughput, PC/Xbox gaming for the kids, and obviously security. So I'll go with that model, it saves me half the cost :) 

    Appreciate your time to answer my question!
