    Dell/Intel X540-T2 Nics

    I have two Dell/Intel X540-T2 dual port 10GbE nics for sale. Was going to use them for transferring video between my desktop and my NAS, but i couldn’t get my z87 system to boot with one. Both cards work in my x99 system without issue. In light of this, I am going another route. Price: $100...

    Which 40GbE/10GbE NICs and cable for PC to PC file transfers?

    I want to connect my desktop, another workstation and NAS for faster file transfers for rather cheap (mainly video/photo content - 300-500GB transfers suck on 1GbE right now).
