Exactly, this "I believe you are using iPerf for the tests... During the test, check the CPU core usage, it could be a bottleneck."
From what I am aware you might be seeing a bottleneck from CPU side.
P.S. I'm not sure how your age is relevant.
This part is definitely true
LSI 3108 This one might be your best shot so far. Not that expensive and will do the job.
According to my experience, RDMA gives a lot of features and there is a big difference with or without it. Especially with Starwind, you will definitely achieve better performance. So it would be better to use newer Connect X 4 which is RDMA capable cause even Connect X 3 doesn't support RDMA...

Greeting, sirs.
I just wanted to clarify some things and come with an update. Right now StarWind is working on improving it's VMware hyper-converged concept which means that we will run inside a Linux VM very soon. Actually, it is exactly the same thing that HP VSA and Nutanix are doing right...
What I find quite awesome is that Starwind does in-line deduplication on the fly:

And obviously consumes some RAM to do it. Both newer ZFS builds act the same way, however, the new Starwind is capable of doing...
What is the speed of your internal storage? If it is near 2-3 Gbit than there is not so much sense investing into 10GBit infrastructure since storage will still bottleneck everything.
Mellanox dual port cards should be fine for sure, however there are some difficulties in using a three-node...
