    Supermicro 732 $35 OBO + shipping

    That case is a tank. At $80 shipped it's not a bad deal.

    Smoking hot deal: Quanta LB6M 24-port SFP+ 10GbE $500 BO

    Cheers! I'm interested in the switch but not interested in 60 db of noise. I've had great success with swapping out fans in the past, trying to see if I can get away with it here as well.

    Did you happen to take any other pictures while you had it open? Curious to see the fan locations and available real estate.

    Bonus points if the lights dim when you turn it on.

    10GB Performance issues

    Just an FYI, if you email Mellanox they will likely send you some brackets for free, assuming they still have them.

    Supermicro X11 and RAM selection

    I can confirm Crucial 16GB DDR ECC 2400 works with a X11SSi-LN4F

    10Gb SFP+ single port = cheaper than dirt

    If there isn't already a support group for you I volunteer to start one. :)

    10Gb SFP+ single port = cheaper than dirt

    FWIW, if these cards are normal rebranded Mellanox cards (MT26448) then I've had great success using them (the Mellanox equiv, both single and dual port) under FreeBSD 9.2, 10.0, 10.1; ESXi 5.5; Windows Server 2012 R2; XenServer 6.5

    2.5 JBOD chassis options

    Think this could be used for dual domain setups?

    infiniband ethernet on vsphere and etc...

    Yeah, I tried like hell to get iSER working with ConnectX-2 cards in a variety of setups, in the end the only way it would work was between two Linux machines, one running the Linux-IO iSCSI target. But, man oh man was it fast.

    Do Mellanox ConnectX-2 EN 10GbE Cards work in FreeNAS?

    Which is why I said you may have to compile a custom kernel. And by custom I mean add two lines to the kernel conf. Is that activity not allowed in FreeNAS?

    Questions About Moving to 10gbe

    I have not had that same experience, granted I avoid the FreeNAS forums like the plague.

    Questions About Moving to 10gbe

    Thats because the FreeBSD developers are reviewing code submitted by Chelsio, they do the same with Mellanox. Intel, I think, just sets up their own BSD environment, gets everything happy and says "here ya go".
