I've got a still very relevant and useful Netgate pfSense SG-5100 firewall for sale. It's 4GB eMMC flash died, so I replaced it with a brand new SATA m.2 drive 128 GB. It works great and is honestly better than the super basic flash that was previously available. Includes power adapter.
Please note, due to the nature of the EMMC storage, while booting is perfectly fine, even after a power outage, it will "freeze" on a softreboot and needs a physical reset. Honestly not a big deal since you'd only be doing that during an update. There MIGHT be a way to get around this (I saw someone talk about environment variables that can skip scanning that drive on shutdown) or maybe a way in the BIOS, but I haven't messed with it further since it works just fine 99% of the time. Honestly coming back on after a power outage seems to be more important IMO since firmware updates you'd usually do that on site.
$350 F&F Shipped
