Unless you your inet connection can sustain 10gb then what’s the point of a 10gb nic? I have gbit fiber that rarely gets above 6-700mbit. Is a full 10gb inet connection that common?
Even on LAN do you have I/O that can deliver 10gb/sec to the wire?
- allenrb 4y agoIt doesn't have to deliver 10gb/sec to be worthwhile. 3 gbps is easy and already more than a 2.5GbE link can handle. And the prices for those switches still exceed what's available used for 10gbps. I've got an ICX7250-24p at home that cost about $200 from ebay. That's 24 ports of PoE gigabit, plus 8 SFP+ ports for 10gig. Noise and power are quite reasonable, though it doesn't belong on the desk next to you.
- supertrope 4y agoRegular SATA SSDs are bottlenecked by gigabit and 2.5 gigabit. 116MB/sec is not slow per se. Usually only video editors are waiting on file loading bars frequently enough to make an upgrade worthwhile. That and moving around VM images.
