Review on ZOTAC ZBOX-CI325NANO-U Series Nano Fan-Less Mini PC Intel N3160 Quad-Core CPU Silent Performance Barebone System SSD & RAM Not Included, No OS by Marcel Robinson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I'm sure someone could download some drivers to make it better, but I ended up just making it a web server.

The current pfsense has problems with the ready memory card, which increases the loading time by 30-50 seconds while it loops trying to figure out what it is. I'm sure someone could download some drivers to make it better, but I ended up just making it a web server instead of my FW. I've replaced a large Dell i3 with this low power solution and it's reliable. FYI - for Ubuntu/Debian you will get a terrible Intel black screen problem if you don't install the GUI. I chose xfce because it's stupidly easy and works for me. It works great in my closet at around 80 degrees.

Pros
  • Always liked it
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
