Switched my core network for 10g last summer with no regrets, can imagine life without it now tbh

  For what cost?
  • moonbug 6y ago
    hardly anything, old mellanox NICs are practically free on eBay, DACs and 10g optics are a pittance. Even DC 10g switching is cheap. Franky, 100ge is within home budgets now.

        i personally spent about 700$ - but i got a fancy managed switch. NICs for were about 200$

    I've got some Mellanox cards for about 20-30 USD each, some direct attach cable can be had for a few dollars as well. Later I picked up some cheap optical gear from FS[1] for when I moved my NAS into another room. About $20 for the transceivers and fiber cable was not expensive either. Regular 1GbE is sooo low now. Not got the switch yet, just running point to point. Using a different IP range so I'm sure I'm hitting that 10G goodness. [1]: https://www.fs.com https://www.fs.com
