    Mix 10G 2.5G, slow speed, high Retr

    The only RJ45 - SFP+ transciever that worked for me (with a ubiquiti es 16-xg and intel i255-v & usb 5g adapter) was the Aquantia AQS-107-CX-1. I have a Supermicro OEM version ( AOM-AQS-107-B0C2-CX ) which unfortunately was very expensive, but I didn't want to install an additional switch. Had...

    I don't think so. The specs I found for 7.68 TB 5100 Eco's indicate low 4K write ops in steady state, only ~9000. Your result still seems to be above that number. Running benchmarks on a new or secure erased drive with enough idle time for the drive to clear its nand will give you better results...

    WTB: Mellanox ConnectX-3 VPI dual port tall bracket

    Fortunately I have a fiber cable so I am currently running with the cards only supported by the pcie slot. But this can only be a temporary solution. I will look into a DIY job this weekend although I would still prefer an original bracket.

    WTB: Mellanox ConnectX-3 VPI dual port tall bracket

    Hi, I got 2 of these card with low profile brackets only and am looking for 2 tall ones. Saw the thread about the brackets from ahpconline which are said to fit, but they don't ship international and the bay looks empty.
