Try the 571, it is newer, Solar Flair based 10G card still being sold by HP. I just picked one up from ebay for 35$ (I got the FLR version since I have HP servers, but they have a regular non FLR pci version). I'll know more when I get it, should arrive tomorrow, but it is still actively supported by HP, so drivers should be available.Does anyone have some NIC tips, for the ones that work with Server 2019 and this switch and that are not too expensive?..
I have the HP NC523SFP but there are no native 2016/2019 drivers.. and using the 2012R2 drivers result in a bluescreen as soon as I change settings (like MTU)... My connection is using SFP Direct cables..
Heh.. uhh.. no.. That is why it is turned off and sitting in the corner of my Garage while I try to figure out how to sell a 300 pound brick.. My wife did not like the $300 a month power biill... Tried local pickup a few times on Craigslist and Ebay but no luck. At this point, and the fact it is like 5'F today and my house is freezing.. I'm debating on cranking that sucker up inside the house.. it generates enormous amounts of heatEnergy must be very cheap where you live!
Mellanox cards are cheap and work. I have a single port CX-2 in my Server 2019 machine and a dual port in my Unraid.Does anyone have some NIC tips, for the ones that work with Server 2019 and this switch and that are not too expensive?..

any reason people arent using the chelsio's? they seem supported on about everything also including FreeBSD/FreeNASMellanox Connectx-3's are down to 20 dollars for a single port 10gbe version, work in literally everything

will have to check them out. any preferred models in that pricerange that is dual sfp+ ? i have a few servers that take low profile cards only and i have a mix of FreeBSD/FreeNAS and Vmware in the rack so a model that can go in any would be awesome. hardware tends to be a mixture of Dell and Supermicro..mellanox has been perfectly supported in freebsd/freenas for a very long time. the chelsio cards you will find for 20 or 30 dollars (the price of a much newer connect x3) are going to be ancient. Mellanox also has super open firmware tools that allow you to do a lot of stuff
Anywhere specific you are seeing that? I see $28 for low pro and $38 for full height on ebay currentlyMellanox Connectx-3's are down to 20 dollars for a single port 10gbe version, work in literally everything
The funny thing I noticed is that my iPerf max'd out at 5Gbps, but copying a Windows file between two servers actually managed to get the adapter to 9.7Gbps.. not sure how/why that is possible.. but just going by the numbers of iPerf seems not to be everything..
