Hey guys,
I currently have a NAS that is connected to my network via a Quanta LB4M switch, using SFP+ fiber connects.
Since setting this up, I have mostly dismantled my home lab (simply don't need it), and I'm looking to switch most of my home network to Unifi configuration. I'm looking at the US-16 with PoE, however the unifi switches don't come with SFP+ ports (except the 48port version, which is utter overkill for me).
To make my life easier, I would like to keep my nas connected via fiber, but I'd need to step down to SFP only connection.
Does anybody know if the older Mellanox-V2 cards (This is a re-flashed dell version) can connect using SFP only modules (downgrading from SFP+) ?
OR
If someone could recommend a 12-16 port switch with PoE that has an SFP+ port that is less than $200 ?
