Quad 10GB SFP+ nic for $20

[jbrukardt]

I got this card today. It draws about 10 watts and it works in pfSense straight away with no added drivers needed. So far I really like it. Well worth the $20

with all 4 SFP+'s populated? And with what?

2 populated with 10 base T transceivers. I have switched to DACs but haven't remeasured yet

Oddly enough, I ended up NOT going with this NIC but instead got a $50 quad port 25gbe QLogic nic instead. I figured $30 was worth it for my use-case... BUT I ended up not putting it in my HP T740 as it would certainly burn up.

Id guess its these QL41234HLCU, they tend to be available in the 40-50$ area.

I considered them in my new nodes but ended up just going with 18$/ea connectx4 dual 25gbe like my existing ones.
