Nano XCP-ng 8.3-beta dual NIC *FUN* host (Intel N5095, 8G)
-
I couldn't resist a deal for an ACE-T8PRO from Ace Magician. This palm sized x86 computer comes with an Intel Celeron N5095, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, dual RTL8111/8168/8411 1Gbit NIC and a RTL8821CE 802.11ac Wireless card.
It idles around 7W with XCP-ng 8.3-beta installed, goes up to 11W during a VM copy or moderate load (3 VM runing fio) and up to 18W when under heavy load. iperf3 is 940 Mbits/sec with about 60 retries, probably due to the Realtek NICs but it has two NICs which is cool.
Nothing to get serious about, but not bad either, and it's still fun to play with. I bought it to test pfSense on a low power platform. Keep fingers crossed for the Realtek NIC performance on FreeBSD.

@olivierlambert Thanks Olivier and I hope it's okay to post some fun stuff from time to time despite the high level of professional discussion on the forum. I enjoy tinkering with low- or fun-tech when not busy with enterprise IT at work.

It's 100% fine
