Being aware that many people are making the jump from 1gig to 10gig, and even if I agree that's probably the best, I find myself intrigued about the new interim speeds that came out about a year ago primarily intended for using existing cable infrastructures: 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T - Wikipedia
Yet despite knowing of it, i'm not seeing much advertised as supporting it! Is this a dead in the water thing, something just waiting to get legs, something soon to be rolled out or what? I find myself desiring a bit faster than 1G for some uses but even with dropping 10G HBA card prices they still take an x8 slot if I remember which will not always be available on all consumer level boards.
