You most likely want to have a look at an ARM-based solution, anything using IPQ SoCs should do fine for instance.

Many hardware vendors supports FreeBSD, I don't think anyone running ZFS would advice you to use Linux but oh well... There's a recent presentation about how gandi.net uses FreeBSD and their infrastructure and why they choose that OS. BSDCan2016: FreeBSD based high density filers Napp-it is also...

You probably want Solaris and/or FreeBSD for this but oh well ;-)

I'd avoid the Evo at all costs but oh well ;-)

Do a factory reset?

Marvell controller, preferably MLC instead of TLC memory. Proven and reliable combination. Crucial MX200, Plextor SSDs also comes to mind if you're on a budget.

At least in .eu they have quite a bit more powerful hardware at the same price as Asustor. Keep in mind that if you're going to mix HDDs sizes you can pretty much forget about redundancy in a sane manner at least.

I'd say that you should also checkout Asustor, avoid the J-series by Synology and drop Drobo.

Juniper had a really good tutorial but it got closed down :-/ //Danne

Not really unless you want faster wifi.

Well, I do know that the SiL3114 are plauged with data corruption even on smaller HDDs if you use more than one channel at a time (that's a very nice design bug) . The SiL3124s aren't much better, also... it's going to be really slow and PCI isn't going to help. I'm recommending PCIe because no...

It's hackable but it's not a good idea in the long run.... Asustor (better bang for the but than Synology and QNAP in most cases) supports NTFS out of the box from what Google tells but I would recommend you switching to a native filesystem. FreeNAS has the same "issue".

Google ?

MX300 is probably the best one in the long run, Marvell controller and Micron flash.

Slower than the Fitlets (they are slightly more expensive) however you'll be more than fine with a MIPS or ARM box which most likely will perform better. Not to forget, warranty is a concern if you order overseas.

No idea what OS you're going to run but at least on FreeBSD Chelsio is preferred over Intel especially if you're looking for performance.

Zyxel if you want a good value switch that's reliable and overall have a decent interface and performance, HP (2000+ series) if you want premium.

You want to use LEDE (which is a continuation of OpenWRT) and anything supported that uses Atheros MIPS CPUs works pretty well, they are however getting dated nowdays. Mediatek MT7621 is a much nicer SoC, otherwise I'd have a look at QCA based ARM-boxes (IPQ****).

In general, load the VPN service tell the firewall to route packets going to/coming from X via interface Y (VPN). I have no idea how you do that in Tomato as I do not use it.

Avoid both like the plague, if you want a cheap adapter go with ASM1061 that actually works decently.

Any decent firewall/router can do this

Zyxel GS19**-series

From what I can tell (and what I came to conclusion last time I checked) Pioneer > LG all day. BDR-2209 shouldn't be too hard to find in the US.

Hughes Net Satellite Internet, you're not going to see low pings no matter what you do. The rest is up to the ISP regarding routing and peering.

Doing FAX over VoIP is a pain and dodgy at best, either buy a service or tell them to use e-mail. As someone said, it's 2016.

Zyxel are solid, make sure the follow 802.3af or 802.3at and not using UBNT own proprietary crap...

I run a bunch of TP-Link WDR3600 based APs (LEDE project firmware) and they are all very reliable and most users have Apple phones and/or tablets, 11n however.

That board is based on a very old Marvell controller, the M1015 (LSI 2008) is much faster but it's getting dated. LSI SAS 9207-8i Storage controller- 600 MBps LSI SAS 9300-4i Storage controller- 4800 MBps 9300-4i is using a faster chipset but it also "only" carries 4-ports, keep in mind that...

In that regard you have to "rely" on Open Source, there's no hw manufacturer unless you have a contract that'll provide what you're asking for. pf/opnsense will most likely be overkill and/or a waste of money, grab a MT7621 based box and you'll be fine even if you get the 300Mbit service. As...

You probably want to sandbox it somehow, best would probably running it as VM with your current configuration.

@ SomeGuy133 Thing is I have no idea what you're getting at... There's no brand that has all components in house why it matters is beyond me but whatever.

You need to define design, there's quite a difference between designing a product (ground up) and having all components in-house.

I'm not sure what you're getting at, they do assemble their own SSDs.

Having hard time using Google?

Indeed, Liteon is not one of those....

Plextor (Lite-On) makes lots of SSDs....

Encoding is slow so anything will do unless it's ancient. MLC > TLC irregardless of manufacturer, I would also rate Marvell controllers more "proven" than most other brands. In general I'd say that is a very good deal. Amazon.com: Plextor M6 PRO Series 256GB 2.5-Inch Internal Solid State Drive...

Have in mind that MikroTik is cheap for a reason, the backend is quite a bit slower than more expensive models. Having a quick look at the forums it seems that you should be a bit careful about this switch as it lacks what you'd expect as basic functionality, if you're all fine with that I...

Not really unfortunately

I'd personally take Marvell over Silicon Motion, Phison or jMicron any day of the week but it's just me.... ;-)
