    1U Supermicro Server 6x 10GBE RJ45 X10SLH-LN6TF LGA 1150 H3 X10SLH-N6-ST031

    Awesome! Thanks! Quick question then... What is the main usage of the 6x10GbE? I guess I'm not seeing what makes this unit more valuable. Is it just having that level of accessablility directly on the unit without having to go to a switch? Also. When y'all are saying 10gbe, everything I saw...

    Hardware for Gbit VPN/firewall

    Hey there, thanks for the input. I guess part of my confusion with some of these devices and hardware is that they post the IPsec throughput but if you're using OpenVPN based VPN services and OpenVPN as a server at home then you're running SSL encryption which is a lot slower than IPsec...
