Are there good SFP+ USB 4 adapters that work on Linux?
One of the bad trends in recent motherboards is minimal number of PCIe slots, which are very clearly focused on GPUs only. So basically there is no room for any extra devices. Their idea seems to be pushing everyone to USB 4 for use cases like that (which supposedly should be able to route even PCIe?).
- sschueller 4y agoI only know of this thunderbolt version but I do not know how the linux support is. https://www.sonnettech.com/product/solo10g-sfp-tb3/overview.html https://www.sonnettech.com/product/solo10g-sfp-tb3/overview.... . For SFP28 there seems to be nothing available at this time that would work via USB.
- shmerl 4y agoThanks! They seem to be listing Linux. Would it work with USB 4? Whole Thunderbolt / USB situation is somewhat confusing.
