I have a storcenter px12-350r that I'm using as my main nas. It has got 8 1gig connections at the moment (4 by default, 4 more through a network card I had laying around and didn't need for anything else, so under the motto "more ports = more better" decided to put it in even though there is pretty much no point).
I have a few Mellanox ConnectX2 cards, but they don't seem to get recognized. (I think it's driver related - makes sense that they don't include drivers for them in their custom debian-based OS).
Can anyone, with reasonable certainty, tell me if there are other 10g network cards that do work in this NAS? I was thinking of trying an intel card since they pretty much use one big driver lib iirc, but before I go spend another 100 bucks on a second hand intel nic, I would like to hear what people here have to say about it.
Other suggestions related to this (like, someone might know how to get those connectx2 cards to work) are also welcome.
I'm already using the linux active load balancing on the NAS, but, of course, this only helps for multiple connections, and doesn't impact the speed of single file transfers.
