Hi All,
Having just upgraded my HomeLab I now have 2 motherboards that have Dual Intel X540 on the motherboard.
I would prefer on the third server to get a 10Gbe Card for it but the Intel X540 is expensive in the UK.
Stupidly I had a Chelsio T420-BT which would have been ideal but I sold it on eBay when I should of held on to it.
Rather than buy more SFP+ type cards / cables I would prefer to stick with 10GBe useing Cat6a cables as it makes sense given that is what is on my other motherboards on board and saves a PCie slot!
So my question is, What cards are out there that support Esxi 6 / 6.5?
I have so far Intel X540 and Chelsio T420-BT does anyone know of any others that I can search for on eBay?
Thanks all
