Is noise a concern?

I'm not space constrained. As I mentioned, I'm using an old desktop currently. However, the desktop requires add in cards. The cards and case fans add to the power budget. I do need to figure out how much power each of those draw. I seem to recall that the newer versions of my NICs use less power.
I'm contemplating building an i3-12100 system but I don't know if it's worth the hassle. The only real issue with the power right now is runtime on my UPS and the power doesn't go out that often.
Yep, but keep in mind the sole purpose of V1500B was to offer cheaper access to 10G. It's not about throughput... it's about connectivity.
Dear moderators. Please close this topic. It's getting out of hand. I specifically mentioned that this is not a ZFS usage question. Not sure why people can't read a question properly. This means I do not need any comments on how safe it is to use ZFS w/o ECC.
how do people use ZFS with OPNsense
No matter what someone says, using ZFS without ECC is a bad idea if you care about your data. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise. Period. (I also mentioned that ZFS is not less safe than any other fs. I said that it was much more likely that your data is gone and non-recoverable (in case of a corruption), because of the lack of proper recovery tools for ZFS.)
I am not saying that another fs is safer because it is less prone to corruption. I am very well aware that e.g. ext4 can be as easily be corrupted as ZFS in case of mem errors.
The issue lies somewhere else. ZFS does not have proper recovery tools. When you have a filesystem corruption with ZFS (especially when the entire pool is affected), it's much more likely that your data is gone and non-recoverable. But I seriously don't want to discuss filesystem coding here.
However, I just had another thought. I should be fine with a corrupted ZFS on a FW appliance. Worst case scenario: I re-install and restore a config backup.
