This is the most ridiculous lie in the thread. An ethernet link that can barely keep up with a $150 SSD costs $1250 per switch port, and needs a $1200 NIC and can go only 3m over copper before you need a $1000+ optic assembly. There is nobody with an ethernet setup in their home that outruns consumer-grade SSDs. "Ethernet is limited by SSDs" is a Charlie's Hoes level of wrong.
- BenjiWiebe 1y agoYes even an HDD can keep up with 1GbE. But if you actually want your Ethernet to be similar speed to your SSD, you don't need to spend that much. Get some used gear. 32 port 40GbE switch (Dell S6000) $210 used Dual port 40GbE NIC (Mellanox MCX354A-FCCT) $31 used 40GbE DAC 1 meter new price $22 or 40GbE optics from FS.com (QSFP-SR4-40G) $43 new + MMF fiber cable Of course, that's probably not going to be very power efficient for home use - 32 port switch and probably only connecting a handful of devices at most.
