Fairly obviously a 1Gbps network is not going to compete with 5Gbps SATA or 20Gbps NVME. Having said that, for real performance we load stuff over the network into local RAM and then generally run from that (faster than all other options). On the internal network the server also has a large RAM disk shared over NFS/SMB, and the performance PC's have plenty of RAM - so really it's a tradeoff, and the optimum is going to depend on how the system is used.
- Palomides 1y agowant to emphasize, for those who haven't been following, a nice used 25Gb ethernet card is like $25 now
- zokier 1y agoBut how much is a 25GbE (or 40GbE) switch?
- Palomides 1y agomaybe around $400 for 25Gbe depending on your noise and power tolerance, and 40Gbe is dirt cheap now if you only have two or three devices that need a fast connection you can just do point to point, of course
- bombcar 1y ago10gb is cheap as free → CRS304-4XG-IN If I needed more than that, I’d probably do a direct link.
