Very nice. Lowest I've been able to "BO" is $500 for that same x4 card, trying to get it cheaper myself just a dream ;) but 500$ seems like a big drop as of last couple months!!!

The real question... what does the ConnectX5 have the 4 does not... new features for sure, but does it matter?

NVME over ethernet?

Wow, that's a pretty good deal! As far as the differences I'm pretty sure connectx5 has lower latency. AFAIK they were a big change is storage networks.

I'm old, I remember when 4Mbps token ring with a MAU was the stuff.....
