boot linux off a pendrive and see what is visible - this sounds like a freeBSD driver issue If it works on Linux you may have to switch from TrueNAS core (freeBSD based) to TrueNAS scale (linux based)

I've got the base-T version in use here ( aoc-stgn-i2t - x540 equiv ) under esxi, one porr to a 10gbe port on the switch and one to a 1gbe (running opnsense virtualised - the 1gbe port is to connect to my fibre ONT) - no problems at all negotiating the lower speed what you're seeing could be a...

it's installed locally to ONLY the root account, so the risk of this is low

just logged in and checked - we're using 24.8.1esr - so maybe start with that and then work backwards to earlier esr releases as needed

we've got a couple of old ibm x3850s with similar issues due to needing a prehistoric browser/java combo - our 'fix' was to install a legacy version of firefox and use that for the console : Directory Listing: /pub/firefox/releases/

have you tried removing BOTH video cards and running with JUST the onboard VGA? Most lilkely culprit is a system BIOS/video card BIOS interaction

probably the aqc107 based v1 - it's only pcie3 so in an 3x1 slot those iperf numbers would be about what you'd expect

the image on their website has the 'extension' too long to be x1 but too short to be x4 - the product page states 'x1 for pcie4 and x2 for pcie3' but also lists that card as physically x4 - I suspect it's likely actually gone for the seldom seen x2 connector...

the owc product page states it's aqc113cs based ( no surprise - only low cost pcie4 10gbe solution ) and you can see it's physically x4 ( so to use in an x1 slot you'll need an open ended slot ) https://www.owc.com/solutions/10g-ethernet-pcie-network-adapter

cat5e is officially rated for 10gbe up to 45m ( most people play it safe and stay under 30m ) - cat6a is good for 100m, but unless you've got a really big house it's almost certainly overkill as with all links I'd expect people to best testing links to verify they're working to spec - it's easy...

NICs are cheap enough now ( either aquantia or x540-t2 ) - main issue is finding suitable switches at sane prices and in form factors and noise levels fit for home use ( I ended up going with QNAP for that reason ). As others have already said cat5e is fine for short runs - my whole house...

most sata ssd's only use the 5v rail - wheras a spinning rust drive has all the heavy load is on the 12v rail. A typical sata ssd is pulling 30-40mW ( so that's 6-7mA load on the 5V rail ) - you'll be fine Also the per connector rating doesn't tell you much - you need to know power supply...

power draw for a normal 2.5" sata ssd is trivially low - just use a sata power splitter to get one extra sata power connector, the additional current draw will be almost non-existent

you noticed in the review of the m12swa-tf on here that there's obviously metal standoffs pre-installed in those end positions? https://www.servethehome.com/supermicro-amd-ryzen-threadripper-pro-launch/supermicro-m12swa-tf-front/ if you look here in this video review you can clearly see it's a...

that heatsink is on the 'optional' extra list for the x11spa-t - and whilst they show how to install it in the manual it won't help you much ( as they basically just show screwing it into the standoffs, not HOW to install the standoffs ) given the black standoffs they supplied are threaded both...

how fast is the network storage you're acessing? spinning rust arrays or nvme arrays?

note that the st1008f is unmanaged ( OP was explicitly wanting managed )

tp-link have a realatively cheap 8 sfp+ managed switch ( tl-sx3008f ) - of course you then have the cost of the sfp+ modules as well

it is - I was talking about the older x3850 x5 being speed limited ( but pcie2x4 is still much better than a sata ssd off the raid controller can do )

if the bios doesn't support bifurcation ( which it almost certainly doesn't ) you can still use 'dumb' single nvme cards - I did that recently for an x3850 x5. Obviously if you want multiple nvme that means multiple cards and using up multiple slots ( and in the case of the x5 being so old...
