@DMatrixz the 10g copper ports also run at 1g.
But the board with both is only a few $$ more (d-1518 probably rather than d-1521)
If you want a stand alone firewall then look at the pfsense appliances. (A lot would agree having firewall on a separate appliance is a good idea)
Costs $200-300 though.

Thanks Evan, a dedicated box is the idea, going all the way back I had a Pfsense appliance in my cart but I now believe their hardware is much overpriced, by ~$400. I realize you're supporting the project through buying their hardware and that you get two incidents of remote support with the purchase, but seeing as the incident tickets are $200/ea they aren't including anything, it's just front loaded. That's how I began looking at making my own C2758 box through SM. However those are chips from 2013 and I'm guessing the Xeon D chips have a lot better side benefits. Thoughts?
I did see the 1528 out there but couldn't find a micro ATX. Have you seen one?
I had a similar impression, they claim the metal sits close enough to conduct heat through air, true but is that really enough..? I'd think it doesn't come close to direct conduction.
SM d-1528 is currently mini-it'd only
You can buy the pfsense hardware for adi engineering and use pfsense community edition..

The c2000 series has in the case of the adi systems and huge power advantage once a d-1500 Xeon if it's only a firewall !
If it's a virtual firewall and a shared box then d-1500 series I think is the way to go.

You're right! I think this is the board for me.
Supermicro X10SDV-6C+-TLN4F - A Xeon D-1528 based mITX platform
Now the case, memory, power supply and SSD
@Evan and I agree a c2000 series is just fine for a firewall alone but not for a UTM/NGFW at 1Gbps internet speed.

$800 for the 8 core model from a STH member.

Wow, not bad, now I wonder if that's a better route or not, missing QA,etc (networking goodies) that the D-15*8 boards have right?
Network goodies:
They all comes with the following things enabled: (D-1518, D-1528 & D-1548)
- AES-NI
cryptographic speed up
- Intel QuickAssist
cryptographic and compression/decompression speed up
- DPDK (enabled software)
massive Layer3 packet forwarding speed up
- Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
At workload peaks the CPU frequency will be pushed scaled up
- Intel (HT) Hyper-Threading (vers. 9)
Real CPU cores would be double being existing virtually

Hey Guys!
Is it possible to use all the 7 storage ports in the, say, ASRock D1520D4I at the same time?
This board has 6 SATA drives (4 from the mini SAS) and a M.2.
I checked the mobo's manual but couldn't reach to a conclusion. The specifications page below doesn't even mention the M.2, although the slot is visible in the photos and mentioned in the manual.
ASRock Rack > D1520D4I

Ouch, why would they leave that off a 'network optimized' '8 series' chip?
Doesn't this article contradict that statement?
Intel Xeon D-15x8 Networking Accelerated SKUs
Would QAT make a c2758 faster/better option than the D1528 without QAT?
Answering my own question, the M.2 is using a PCIe bus lane instead of SATA, so yes, we can use up to 7 storage disks.
I have ordered the following 2 boards from WiredZone and they are expected to ship on 3/30 from what I'm being told. Should have them by the middle of next week just as an FYI for anyone looking at purchasing these.

A welcome present arrived in the mail today...
X10SDV-TP8F, D-1518, 2x 10G SFP+, 6x 1Gbe. Don't need the extra 1gbe ports but this was the board I could get the soonest.

SC113MTQ. 1U short depth with 8 2.5" hotswaps + an LSI9300 IT mode that I have on the shelf. For now. This will likely be the first of 5 CEPH OSD nodes in a small cluster. I plan to do some simple performance testing and may go down-scale to the 2C/4T model for the rest of the cluster (OSD really isn't an intensive use case).
Well, it's shorter than a 'standard' depth SC113 (LoL).
As it turns out...it's a standard depth 113 that I had ready with cables staged, etc. The little baby board looks rather ridiculous in the big case
And the 563w PSU is probably overkill (duh!).
But this is what let's me fire it up tonight...
