And yep, they do apparently work ok if you're running Linux. :)

Haven't seen info about how much noise they generate though, so not sure if suitable homelab material. :/
- mgerdts 3y agoI saw that, but didn’t consider it particularly cheap. Also, the power draw of this things is also likely a concern if run continuously.
- justinclift 3y agoYeah, power draw could be a problem. :( Cheap though... it's a small fraction of the price for a new one. Are there better options around? Looking at Ebay just now, I'm seeing some Mellanox IB switches around the same price point. Those things are probably super noisy though, and IB means more mucking around (needing an ethernet gateway for my use case).
