Review: Good Product. Great customer service - The product is a nice compact "appliance". I purchased for a small remote site as a small independent ESXi host. (i5 4 core/8 w/multithreading). It has no fan, so don't push to 100%. Even at 70% the case was very warm to the touch, but dissipated heat well. Besides the ESXi host, we run two VMs, a OPNSense firewall, and an app server. Would could easily double the load if necessary. We have vmnic0 and 1 as our WANs. We have the rest as our VM Network. Our first bottlenecks would not be the processor with the apps we are running, but the 16 GB RAM, and the small 130 GB SSD which we separately purchased. The hardware on the motherboard though, was not perfect on the first unit. We did have to do a return on the first unit because one of the disk drive connectors on the motherboard wasn't connected properly. ProtectLI sent out a new unit while we used the first one in it's crippled state (1 drive down), when the replacement arrived, we moved the two disks (SSD and a SATA), and the two memory chips we also purchased to the new unit. The new unit is working great. We gave 5 stars because the second unit is working flawlessly. The customer service was professional, polite, and and the return/exchange expedient.
Review: Great little machine - Bought it to use in Proxmox+pfSense setup as a replacement for my old router. It's powerful enough to host multiple small virtual instances so one can pack quite a lot of functionality into this small box. Small, quiet, cool (runs warm if there is big CPU load which is expected) in a nice package. Good purchase.

I have purchased two of these units and am impressed with the performance. They are being used as my firewalls running PFSense. They perform flawlessly and are exactly what is needed.
