1st, I want something fast that I can use in my SOHO.
I don't mind changing fans out for quieter fans ...
I was previously considering this but missed grabbing it while I was looking up wtf "Top of Rack" meant !??
Was this "Top of Rack" switch a good buy (overkill, sure)..?
(eBay link for a very inexpensive SFP28 switch)
Are SFP28 switches more 'efficient' than SFP+ ..? As in, run cooler (fewer watts per port) as they're a newer generation switch..? Or does the improved efficiency usually just mean they'll add more features per port..?
Tangentially, I'm also having problems with my 10GbE SFP+ network getting 200MB/s ... even going from a computer with an NVMe SSD to another with an NVMe SSD!!
Since I'm (obviously, asking remedial questions) a beginner, is dealing with SFP+ // SFP28 networking too expensive and complex for someone who knows so little...and thus, 'self-justifying' that I revert to the easier domain of 10G-baseT ..?
Thanks
