WTB: 3x 10/40Gbe networking cards + cables

[foogitiff]

Hello,

Before trying to buy on ebay, I am trying my luck here...

I am looking to buy three 2x10Gbe (or 2x40Gbe) networking cards with 3 compatibles DAC. Ideally I would like 2 standard-profiles and one low-profile, compatible with Windows Server 2019 and recent Linux.

For my usage 10Gbe is already overkill, but since 40Gbe seems common and somewhat cheaper, I could live with that.

What's your price range? I got some genuine, retail Connectx-4 cards and fiber store fiber optics.

Low Looking at eBay, I was aiming ~$30-35 per card, so the CX-4 is probably over my budget.

I used to run CX-2 on my old NAS, but they are no longer supported, that's why I am trying to upgrade.

I've got 3x HP dual port 40gb cards (These are CX3 cards). I also have many 10g DAC cables (3m length) but I don't have any spare 40g cables I think. To use the 10g cables with the 40gb ports, you'll need adapters.

I can do $35/card, probably shipped, if you're in the lower 48 states. We can work out cables if need be. Lemme know.

I will send you a PM

Since multiple folks expressed interest in these, @foogitiff has first dibs on these, if he doesn't want them, fire away if you want them.

p.s. I have both brackets for all three cards. You can choose which one you want, or have both for each card at a nominal cost.
