Peter: When I used Net4801s i used to see about 25Mb/sec. My Net5501s will push 80Mb/sec and my 6501s will push about 200Mb/sec. That's with a somewhat small to medium firewall ruleset using PFSense. On 04/19/2013 03:07 PM, Peter Bako wrote: > I have been (and still am) running a Soekris net

[Soekris] Net5501 cases and temperatures

2014-01-31 Thread Christopher Hilton
I'm running OpenBSD 5.2 on a Soekris Net5501-70 in the standard case. This box is a bridge between two gigabit networks so it has a PCI-X Intel dual gigabit interface in the PCI slot. This machine has always run somewhat hot: $ sysctl | grep temp[0-3] hw.sensors.nsclpcsio0.temp0=81.00 degC (Remo

Bad form, Alvar. There's no rule that you have to like Soren or Soekris - but hanging out on a help/support forum for a product to advise everyone to use something else is a classic dick move. For what it's worth, Christopher - I have used Net6501s in plenty of places around my work environm

Alvar, bad call, dude. Even if u had problems its not nice to broadcast and advertise other products on a competitive forum. @Chris: There have been similar discussions before. Even the cheapest fan on the market would make an improvement (big improvement if using the small box). Of course if nois

[Soekris] Hard drive bracket for 6501-50

2014-01-31 Thread Fred Weston
I purchased a 6501-50 with the standard 1 slot case. I also purchased a hard drive bracket and a quad port ethernet card. When I opened the case up, it looks like I can have the quad port ethernet OR the hard drive but not both. Is that accurate or did I order the wrong bracket?

Having the same box and bracket, using it with 2 disks. But to be honest, if u have the bracket I don't think u could fit the card inside. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note3 LTE On Jan 31, 2014 5:56 PM, "Fred Weston" wrote: > I purchased a 6501-50 with the standard 1 slot case. I also purchased

My suggestion would be that you just not bother to hang out on the support forum then, if you don't like the products and don't like the staff. Sticking around to try to stick it to the company and product is, as I said, just a dick move. On 01/31/2014 02:41 PM, Alvar Kusma wrote: AMuse
