The 10g NICs are toys. ;-) Mellanox provides high speed (40/56/100/200 gigabit) switches and adapters. If you think 10g fiber is big, just wait... I’ve worked

The 10g NICs are toys. ;-) Mellanox provides high speed (40/56/100/200 gigabit) switches and adapters. If you think 10g fiber is big, just wait... I’ve worked on several projects with them, and found they generally do a good job of feeding the beast when the OS and driver’s are properly tuned. I’m not informed enough to call good or bad, but will instead say it’s interesting, especially in the HPC space (and the emerging AI space).

Can confirm, running 100g mellanox and getting ready to move to 200. They are the best game in town for the price point to performance/reliability/support ratio.

Last I was looking you could get a 40GB card for around $300. Very impressive price that kind of speed in a home office.

  On Ebay you can grab these cards for just $30. 100G is available for less than $200

    Or at least knockoffs with potential back doors.
