That certainly looks more like 3m than 1, it's probably meant more for rack-to-rack cabling than intra-rack. Shame, that that's a good price, but that much extra cabling would cause a pretty big mess in the rack.

You disabled 44 ports... so you only use 4? 2.5/10G desktop switches come in at 1W idle now...

That's a 67W TDP processor, I wonder how constrained it is in that operating envelope.

24Ps go for more/are rarer, in the brief time I've been watching, probably homelabbers watching their electricity bill. :) The 48P idle at 71W per Ruckus, the 24P at 48W, which is a fair bit of difference...

Is the issue resolved using DACs with the new firmware? $50 quickly becomes $100 when you need to buy 4 SFP+ transceivers with each switch.

46462 hours is 5.3 years, and a bit more than I'd like. Thanks for being the guinea pig on this though.

Can you run iperf when you get it? I'd be curious if it could route 10Gb with that processor.

Quick Google says Mint will only install by default the open source drivers, which do not support Quicksync. Some leads in this thread: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/how-to-use-qsv-vaapi-on-linux-mint.137329/

Do you have the right video drivers that support Quicksync?

I'm willing to be they're just being resold at a higher price.

I'm betting some people moved it out of the rack too to run it vertically.

My Kill-A-Watt is reading 39w for a ICX6450-24P, just wiped.

Moving some of this hardware, I have multiples of most things for redundancy. These setups measured ~30w idle/80w max on my Kill-a-watt iirc, which is respectable while being powerful enough for a fair bit of virtualization. 3 x X9SCi-LN4F (quad 1GbE) - Supermicro | Products | Motherboards |...

Linus published that video when he was really new to virtualization. Like REALLY new. He was a Windows boys from head to toe and doubt he touched a *NIX system before that. I would never recommend a system that "required* you to boot off a cheap USB drive (is that still a requirement?). I'm...
