We ran a PowerRouter for the MikroTik User Manager. The SATA SSD proved unreliable, not sure if it was a problem with the SATA interface, the SSD or what, but it ate our database a couple times (not cool). We ran the database of the onboard flash for a while before moving the ROS within a proper VMWare cluster.
Unless you're storing a DB, cache, or lots of logs, you probably don't need the SATA drive. -Paul On Apr 13, 2012, at 7:44 PM, Mark Theis wrote: > PoweRouter 2200... > > We are looking to replace our 7 year old head-end router with a PoweRouter > 2200.
