It's not what I saw a bit more than a year ago when I changed my PC. A PCI express card was about 100€, about the same for a switch IIRC. It was about 500€ total for what I wanted to do, not worth it for me.
The same hardware just Ethernet would have cost 5 or 6 times less!
- mlyle 5y agoMotherboard ports are rapidly becoming 2.5G. Adapter cards are $35. Switches about $100, depending upon what you want (getting to a managed switch with a lot of multigig ports is $400, but then you also tend to get PoE).
- jmnicolas 5y agoYou're right, I just checked on my Newegg equivalent and the local Amazon, one has PCI express cards for 35€ and the other has switches for 135€. Too bad the price for switches didn't go down, I have a hard time replacing 15€ switches for 135€ one just for faster transfers.
