80D vs 90D - threat protection throughput

Looking at the datasheets for the 80D and 90D, the 80D says 190Mbps Threat Protection....the 90D says 25Mbps. Is this correct? Is it a type-O and should be 250Mbps?

 

 

Thx

No, that's correct. The FG-80D is especially built for high UTM throughput. Specifically, it's CPU-based whereas the FG-90D is a SoC-based model. Fortinet's datasheet figures are quite sustainable - a combined value for a mix of UTM features is quite difficult as the traffic composition heavily influences the outcome. Still, for comparisons these figures hold.

 

If you are considering to purchase a FGT choose one of the new E series models. For instance, the 60E is at least at par with the 90D though it doesn't have an internal SSD; the FG-61E does. You will get better performance for the buck here.

 

I personally never really liked the FG-90D. At a pinch, I chose the FG-70D which is a diskless FG-90D. YMMV.

agreed

 

Remember price compare all items and conduct a apple to apple comparison. You should really look at the E series in  your selections and comparisons.
