Their products are even amazingly costly: the Quantis-PCIe-16M sells for €2990, Quantis-PCIe-4M for €1299 and Quantis-USB for €990. I understand that a true RNG might be an important piece of hardware for your organisation and business and that Swiss people are on the average well-to-do (at least so they say), still I cannot believe these prices. I use a 602 kbit/s Japanese FST-01-NeuG 1.0 which I got for 50$: it works well and is fully supported by Linux. It is however slow when you want to initialise a large dm-crypt partition with random data to hide the true filesystem's encrypted data. It's best used to produce strong cryptography keys.
