Hardware and Performance / Qnap TVS-873 as router
« on: November 12, 2023, 10:27:30 am »
I have an old Qnap TVS-873 with a broken backplane. I was planning to convert it to an Opnsense router. It has an AMD R-Series RX-421BD quad-core 2.1 GHz processor, burst up to 3.4 GHz ja 64 Gb of memory. It has two SATA M.2 slots where I was planning to install the OS. The mother board has 4 Nics and live booting Opnsense sees all of them and I can access the web gui.
My question is: would this hardware handle 1 Gbit connection internet? If this is something you can say outright, before I buy the SSDs and plan a case for it
If test it with the live boot environment running from a USB drive will the result be the same as if the OS would be on a SSD?
