Yes, though I mostly went older enterprise gear. My core is a Juniper EX4200 stack, which gives me 6 SFP+ slots, but I have a 48-port SFP+ Cisco Nexus switch for 10gb fiber and a more prosumer-level Netgear for 10GbaseT--though I use fiber for most connections.
I'm even putting my VM hosts on 40gbps as the Nexus has 4 40gbps QSFP+ ports too. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Steve Tomporowski Sent: Friday, August 9, 2019 7:14 AM To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] List seems dead these days? Has anyone gotten into 10G ethernet? A little pricey but is it worth it? Right now I don't know if Unraid can handle that. There is the thought that Win10 will just goof it up and waste the bandwidth.
