Mine runs around 80 watts. With both power supplies plugged in the fans just as tolerable as my 3750G or my 3650G.

It's a L3 switch with some VMware bits built in and touts being VMready. I paid 200 for one with the 10GbE uplink. I haven't done anything with it besides use it to bridge VLANs to my 3750G core for my Gnodal 10GbE switch. I don't like two things. One is that you need to plug in both power...

I wasn't able to break <70MB/s write and the random write IOPS was <10k to a single SSD. Read IOPS was in the 30k to 40k range if I remember correctly. Latency isn't anything to write home about either.

It doesn't present as 96 by default. It shows up as 4x 24 SSDs. I have one. It runs extremely hot. I pulled mine. Performance wasn't that special and I'd rather have the slot for other things.

They came back and offered 75 BO each... hmmm

I offered 3 for 66.66, basically buy two get one free. No response so far.

I picked one up a couple of weeks ago. The performance I'm getting sucks. I'm only able to do <70MB/s write and the random IOPS is <10k to a single SSD. I'm running the IT mode firmware. Maybe I should flash to RAID and try that. Also the first card I got was a dud. The seller was pretty...

I shouldn't of said manual. It was the installation guide that was posted on this forum last year. Still very useful. The file is too large to upload. His is the link in case you didn't see it, DOC-90002-00_A Installation Guide 1U Switch.pdf - DocDroid.

Looking through a, hard to find, GS4008 manual I'm thinking you're right. No mention of any 1Gb love besides the MGNT port. Guess a LB4M is in my future.

Yep. Honestly that's probably cheaper and easier. I just have some OM3 patch and sfp+ transceivers laying around. If I can't get them to work I'll go the Twinax route myself.

Assuming you have some type of sfp uplink on your 1Gb switch, you should be able to use that and plug into one of the 10Gb ports. It should negotiate down to 1Gb. Then setup your trunk. You need sfp interfaces and a fiber patch. Well this is what I'm planning on doing anyways.

I picked up one at 750 too.

So this forum is making me broke. I finally made an account to complain about all the good deals. In for one to complete the NAS I'm building. I may finally get to play with my Dell 6220 soon.
