100gbe is already pretty affordable, like Mikrotik's switch. Not an overkill considering a single consumer NVMe drive cam do ~50 Gbit/s.
One 100G QSFP28 module costs about $100. 100g Mikrotik CRS504-4XQ-IN switch costs about 600-700 bucks.
Consumer PC mainboard side the problem is often insufficient PCIe lanes. Except in server products...
- gorkish 3y agoI just want 2 decent nics, 2 nvme, 8-16gb ram, and a cpu, that's all. Damn thing can be headless for all I caree. Instead all these boards all have six video outputs and usb connectors protruding from every single edge. No shit you don't have any PCIe lanes left after you spent it putting three 10gbps usb ports on the front. Is it just because they can?!?
- vardump 3y agoI'd like 100 gigabit ethernet, 128 GB ECC, 4x NVMe and still enough PCIe lanes for some GPU for ML. Seems to be impossible without going to server mainboards.
- gorkish 3y agoYou seem to be aiming a bit above what I am after. Almost any AM5 board would get you there with a couple of PICe cards though. Dont think I've ever seen a board with "onboard" 100GBe; the high end has mostly moved to OCP3.0. There is one single board computer that has an OCP3 slot which is actually a pretty nice idea for SBCs; perhaps we will get something similar to the R86S but with a more powerful cpu and some additional storage io soon.
