    Xikestor SKS3200-8E2X - avoid these 'MxL86282S' chipset models!

    Horaco Official Store on Aliexpress is showing a Horaco HC-SGT0208S 8x2.5G + 2xSFP+ switch. Yet another rebadge or something new?

    HP t730 Thin Client as an HP Microserver Gen7 Upgrade

    I realize this is old thread but has anyone successfully added a second drive to their T730 by using a A+E to B+M adapter with a NVMe M.2 SSD in the wifi slot? Or something else? I'd like to modify my pfsense setup to run on a ZFS mirror instead of the single drive ZFS it is currently on...

    2,5G NIC for EliteDesk 800 G4

    I got a Realtek NIC to try out and Proxmox won't boot all the way with this card installed. It did work in an older system's WiFi card slot

    1st quad-port i226 NIC on ebay?

    I've been looking for one of these too and no one seems to make one with a suitable sized PCIe switch that I've been able to find. It's beginning to look like I will have to buy the much more expensive X710-T4L if I want full performance at 2.5G.

    10Gbps NIC on PCI-E 3 x1 slot?

    @louie1961 I'm confused about this card. Does this take PCIe lanes from both the M.2 and PCIe x1 slots?

    2,5G NIC for EliteDesk 800 G4

    I realize this is an old thread but is the WiFi card slot even wired to take a M.2 A+E keyed PCIe NIC?

    Project TinyMiniMicro: Reviving Small Corporate Desktops

    This is awesome! Would you consider uploading the bracket design to thingiverse.com?

    Very good deal.

    De minimus exceptions for China and Hong Kong ceased on May 2. I wonder if AliExpress will start shipping from their other warehouses.

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Does it have a BIOS GUI over the serial port? I have a Lanner network appliance that I'm looking to upgrade that has this feature.

    Did you mean the Jonsbo N5?

    Thanks for the heads up!

    HP T730 8GB RAM 32GB Storage Thin Client

    The Wyse is on my list of candidates for when I need to move up to 2.5G NICs. Does it support PCIe bifurcation or would I need to buy a NIC with an on-board PCIe switch?

    I thought @sandor99 was using the regular PCIe slot.

    HP T730 8GB RAM 32GB Storage Thin Client

    I have a pair of those and was able to reach 2+Gbps in iperf3 as an experiment with a direct connection between two PCs, neither being the T730 though. It might have been Linux at one end and Windows at the other end though it's been a while since I did it.

    True. I have the same quandary coming up. It's just that the long term reliability (and possibly security updates for the BIOS) from the big name brands is better.
