For NAS with 10GbE have a look at the embedded Epyc 3000. Though again, still wondering why we don't see native AMD 10GbE ports and instead see intel nics.

- the8472 7y agoMy understanding is that apart from mellanox intel has one of the best ethernet NICs when it comes to hardware offloading features, which is probably saves a large fraction of CPU cycles in embedded environments.
- 1_person 7y agoIt's not that Intel NICs have the most features, not by far. It's that the features of Intel NICs actually work.
- MisterTea 7y agoI get that Intel has and continues to make some of the best ethernet silicon but I find it kind of silly that in this day and age a company like AMD can't build decent NIC. I'd like to see someone implement the AMD 10 GbE ports and do some benchmarking.
- tpolzer 7y agoI'm building a NAS right now. The Epyc 3000 parts looked appealing, but it's ~impossible to get them in Switzerland (and hard in Germany). While getting an Atom/Xeon-D board is relatively easy and there's a lot more choice.
