My NAS has 3x 1gbit Ethernet ports

• sokoloff 8y ago
  10Gb ports are quite cheap as well especially if you're only going point to point (the switches are still a little pricy, but the ports for a NAS to VM host are easily under $100 now).

    Even switches like Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN are getting into 100 EUR range, (if you are fine with running optic cables instead of metallic).

      Optic fiber latency is questionable

      Thanks! I am fine with fiber; it's cheap and for a few ports at home, I don't worry about the power (especially as compared to the servers it cross-connects).
