Router on Intel i7-1355U

Another pfSense router from AliExpress. 2x10Gbit/s SFP+, 4×2.5Gbit/s Ethernet. for ~700$ for Intel i7-1355U, 16GB (2x8GB) DDR5 and 128GB SSD and 100W 12v power supply. Based on CWWK model CW-ADL-PCIE-4L-1355U according to internal labels. it has 2 SATA ports inside but to use those pcie4x4 2xSFP+ card have to be removed.

This one with active cooling. Power limits is configurable. So instead of 15W TDP (default for this CPU) something like 55W might be set so it about double device performance.
