Quad Port 10G Recommendations

[VMman]

Hi STH'ers,

I'm exploring some options to use MS Storage Spaces with some of my Hyper-v hosts and since they are using 1U chassis I can only add a single expansion card.
Any recommendations for quad port 10G, I'm open to both SFP+ or 10Ge options as I can get switches for both.

RDMA support would be an advantage.

Many Thanks

RDMA limits you to:
Mellanox (RoCE v1/2)
Chelsio (iWarp)

The chelsio card seems to be SFP (1 GBit), not SFP+.

Thanks for the replies, the Chelsio seems to tick the boxes, strange since there is no LP or FH risers with these.

From the Spec sheet it does show they are 10G SFP+, however they are labeled as 1G on the listings.

The chelsio is high profile only. There is also the pcie 2.0 version, t-440 and t-440-lp (low profile) if you are interested (much cheaper).

Here are some t-540s with high profile bracket included, all from reputable sellers:
