I installed FreeBSD 9.1/amd64 into Intel NUC kit (DCCP847DYE).

As mentioned in the title, I installed FreeBSD 9.1/amd64 into Intel NUC kit (DCCP847DYE).

About this kit

Intel NUC is a small PC kit. CPU of DCCP847DYE is Celeron 847 (1.1GHz).

The following photo show you objects included in the kit.

This kit does not have memory and SSD. I installed these of

  • Memory: ADATA, DDR3 1333 (PC3-10600), 8GB (4GBx2)
  • SSD: Plextor, mSATA, PX-64M5M (64GB)

You can see the memory at upper side of the following photo. The SSD is at bottom side.

Installing FreeBSD

I had no problem in installing. The way to install was same as that for usual PC. But I recommend to confirm that TRIM command is enabled in filesystem options of freebsd-ufs. It was disabled by default.

Performance

I did buildword to measure performance. For comparing, I did the same thing on my desktop PC. CPU of it is Celeron G540 (2.5GHz), it has 4GB memory, and the storage of it is an SATA 3.0 HDD (of HITACHI).

The following table shows how much time buildwold took in seconds with the value of -j option for make(1).

-j option DCCP847DYE My desktop PC
nothing 14,308 6,121
2 8,200 4,025
4 8,198 3,983
8 8,249 4,018

dmesg

Finally, I paste output of dmesg(8) on this kit.
