Yesterday I got an email from Protectli that they have finally launched a series with onboard sfp+ interfaces and would really like to see what your take is on them compared to the other similar devices you've reviewed recently (like the GoWin 1U and the Minisforum MS-01 for example).
Looking at the specs on paper compared to my Protectli 4-ports it really looks to me like the newer processor is overkill for just running PFSense. I'm curious though as to how much processing power is actually needed to push a decent amount of traffic through the interfaces and whether having IDS or other tools running on it justify the additional cost and cpu bump.
Look forward to seeing this reviewed if you can make it happen.
