Very big in Japan, I'm not sure but it might be something rebranded. Good quality, prices are competitive too.
Yeah, its massive overkill but I figure why not? I'll write it off as a business expense anyway.
Linux ZFS seems ok, guess I just have to wait and see. On Ubuntu it was simple to...

Some funny stories in here. I worked for an MSP doing onsite support - typically half-day, twice a week sort of thing doing everything from basic deskside support to running the entire environment (or at least trying to keep it alive).
One client I basically did deskside support and kept an...
Actually, this is exactly what I use at home! And yes, IPSEC performance at the top end is about 50Mbps - not much less than a 5510. But, add a crypto accelerator, and you could probably push 80~90Mbps.
