Thanks! Ended up buying used Dell S5248F-ON with OS10. We have in-house experience with their switches... Buying 3 of them for less then half the price compared to purchasing one new.

Been looking at used switches over the weekend and I realize there are huge savings to be made going that route :) Any recommendation in that area? What should I think about buying used switches? Is it possible to get updates without a support agreement?

Sorry, I was a bit short in my description... Of course we will need 2 switches of whatever we choose, the important thing is that it works good in such configuration.... I need between 16-24 ports, at least 25 GBE... We usually keep switches for as long as we can get a good price on the...

I need a high performance iSCSI switch of good quality to connect my SAN to my virtualisation servers. Reliability is key here, it must perform good for years and run well in a HA setup. Any recommendation? Would something like CRS518-16XS-2XQ-RM work? It is very cheap compared to fiber...

We have been using Dell servers for more then 20 years and we are happy with how they work. However, once in a while it is good to do some benchmarks against competitors. We have around 20 servers running Vmware (nothing that requires specialized hardware, but we are probably going to move to...

Thanks! Very interesting! We have a lot of VPN traffic so we will probably look at some of their higher end appliances. How is OPNsense running high availability? Is it working well?

It is time to replace the firewalls here and we currently run 2 x Watchguard M390 in HA-mode with 2x10 Gbit expansion ports. I am interested in going open source with somethings like pfSense/OPNsense, but what kind of hardware should we buy if we decide to go that route? Need something rack...

X13SCL-iF looks interesting, will take a closer look to that! And yes, ECC is important...

I want to build (or buy something pre-built that meet my specifications) but need advice where I can find this. My requirements are: - CPU should be low power but still powerful - Minimum of 64 GB ECC memory - 2 x NVMe - 2 x 2.5" SSD - 2 x NIC (preferable 2.5 gb or 10gb) Not sure if this...

I ended up using Proxmox and software raid using ZFS and that works fine :) My question was probably badly worded. I was looking for a PCIe raid controller with M.2 slots.

Can anyone recommend a good, decently priced M.2 raid controller that will work for the ASRock Rack RomeD8-2T motherboard and ESXi 7 for my new home lab server?
