Hello,
At this moment I use 2x HP servers, DL360p G8 and DL380 G9, both with HP 649283-B21 40G NICs... They work fine as ethernet adapters on pfSense without flashing etc...
But now I need some decent PCI-e x16 100G NICs for another servers which ill use at 40G (no 100G switch) but I hope to get some benefits from PCI-e X16... All 40G NICs are with x8 as I know...
At first Chelsio T62100 caught my attention but on Ebay has also plenty of Mellanox... Problem is I am not sure about Chelsio because I heard some negatives here and there, but about Mellanox there are so many 100G models and it is hard to choose...
Any help will be appreciated
