Hi Guys and network experts,
I’m very new to networking and I’m looking into upgrading to 10gbe from server to server at home. I’m looking on eBay for a set of 2 cards and a cable that just works. While reading a lot and getting confused many times I’m stumbling about these cheaper cards a lot : Mellanox hs-1235t infinband 10gb Dual Port PCI-E Server MHRH 2a-xsr Adapterkarte | eBay I’m not familiar with Infiniti band protocol and therefore have to ask:
Thank you in advance.
Mike

- Why are these cards so cheap?
- Do they work in a home environment to connect two Proxmox servers only?
- What cable would be needed to connect them?
Thank you in advance.
