This is interesting but I would much prefer to know what the cheapest copper 10GbE switch is ... We've been buying the d-link DXS-1210-12TC for top-of-rack 10G

We've been buying the d-link DXS-1210-12TC for top-of-rack 10GbE switches and at (roughly) $15xx it's fine ... but I don't have one of those in the lab ...
- axiolite 4y agoIt may be the time to switch to fiber. You may be too young to remember when ethernet switched from coax (10Base2) to twisted pair (10BaseT), but the economics look like it will soon be time to make the physical media jump again.
- magixx 4y agoI've been searching for the same thing and the cheapest is the QNAP QSW-2104-2T for $160 USD which seems to be the same as the Trendnet TEG-S762. It has 2 10G multigig ports and 4 2.5G. My eventual goal is to have NAS and desktop on 10G and rest on 2.5G. Unfortunately my NAS setup can't really take advantage of the 5G+ speeds and 10G PCIE cards are not competitively priced so it will get a $17 2.5G PCIE card for now.
