Time to replace my 13 years old NAS (HP Proliant MicroServer N40L). I chose an Aoostar WRT MAX. Let’s bench its 10G ports first… wow, now I have a great #FreeBSD NAS and firewall 😍 (consuming 43W while writing on zpool with 5 SATA 3.5" disks)

Cela semble très intéressant, mais je vais attendre les premiers tests pour connaitre la consommation électrique, car c'est du 45W TDP pour l'AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS, contre les 15W d'un vieux HP MicroServer (AMD N40L).

Should I migrate my old Graviton 2 instance (c6g.16xlarge) to version 3 or 4 ? Yes, c7g.4xlarge is the winner for my use-case.
