    Adding 10GbE via M.2 to CWWK N6005 i226 v4?

    I am basically looking at doing the same thing this Innodisk egpl-t101 does, but since you can't actually buy that anywhere for a reasonable price, has anybody tried adding 10G to one of these CWWK N6005 Mini PC's through an M.2 to PCIe x4 adapter like...

    Making a 10G SFP+ switch Nbase-T capable?

    Dear All, I was reading the "SFP+ to 10Gbase-T Adapter Module Buyers Guide" with quite some interest, as I have an existing CAT6a network, but could gate fairly cheap business 10G switches with SFP+ ports. As I need Nbase-T capabilities and most of the 10G SFP+ switches I'm currently watching...

    Mellanox ConnectX-2 Still Good?

    Hi there. I have recently started building a homelab based on a custom NAS and a few R710's. I am looking to upgrade to 10G networking (point to point, NAS to workstation R710) and am wondering if the ConnectX-2 cards (mnpa19-XTR) are still any good? I've heard that they are plug and play in...

    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). I don't want to spend the $ on a switch yet because I'm on a rather tight budget, so it would be all directly connected...

    Why does ESXi 6.7 HCL list some later ixgben drivers than others?

    Hey, so I have two X540-T2 10GBase-T cards. One is a `Dell K7H46`, the other is a `Supermicro AOC-STG-i2T`. Was having some stability issues with the Dell card, so I went to update the driver, the inbox driver for `ESXi 6.7 9214924` was `1.4.5`. I don't remember installing the driver in...

    Mellanox ConnectX2 and W2k12R2 Teaming

    Hi all, so I've picked up a couple of dual port X2 bargains and using them for converged networking on a Dell cluster but having issues with the teamed NIC faulting on reboot. The cards were originally HP OEM but I flashed to stock FW using the excellent instructions from "Flash OEM (IBM)...
