Partaker H2 Firewall Appliance

The Partaker H2 is a compact desktop firewall appliance built around an Intel Core i7-1255U processor with ten cores and twelve threads reaching 4.7 GHz turbo. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 128 GB NVMe SSD, providing a ready-to-deploy platform for network security tasks such as OPNsense or similar routing workloads.

Six 2.5 GbE Ports and Expansion Limits

Six Intel I226-V 2.5 GbE RJ-45 ports deliver multi-gigabit throughput for WAN and segmented LAN connections. The board offers one M.2 2280 NVMe slot and one 2.5-inch SATA bay for storage expansion, plus an M.2 2230 E-key and an M.2 3052 B-key for wireless or cellular modules. Memory tops out at 64 GB across two SODIMM slots.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify that your rack or shelf can accommodate the 186 x 126.5 x 66 mm fan-cooled chassis and its 12 V DC power input. Confirm the operating temperature range matches your environment, noting the -20 °C to +50 °C rating applies only with an industrial SSD. Ensure any PoE requirements on the first four LAN ports are sourced separately, as that feature is optional.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD configuration or plan to upgrade to the 64GB maximum?

The unit ships with 8GB DDR4 3200 MT/s and a 128GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD; two SODIMM slots support up to 64GB total and a 2.5" SATA bay is also available for extra storage.

What does the Core i7-1255U 10-core 12-thread 4.7GHz turbo rating deliver in a firewall workload?

The 15W TDP processor provides 10 cores and 12 threads with a 4.7GHz maximum turbo frequency, giving headroom for multi-gigabit routing, VPN encryption and simultaneous IDS/IPS inspection.

Are the six 2.5GbE ports limited by the I226-V controller or the PCIe lanes?

Each of the six RJ-45 ports is driven by an Intel I226-V 2.5GbE controller, so the practical ceiling is 2.5Gbps per port with no shared-bus bottleneck.
