Has anyone gotten one of these yet?
Intel XL710QDA2BLK PCIe 3 0 x8 Dual Port Ethernet Converged Network Adapters | eBay
2x QSFP+ 40Gb ethernet ports that can be split using breakout cables to 4x 10GbE. I'd imagine this is best in class network card right now.
I'm also thinking that for @Chuckleb's DIY switch project, it would be better to get one of these instead of getting four dual port SFP+ 10G cards.
I'd be really interested to see the day someone gets one of these and a HBA on a E3 platform to make a storage and networking appliance.
At about $50 more than the single port card, this is the obvious choice.
