+1. If you have multiple physical cards at your disposal you might as

Is there any advantage or disadvantage to using the the two port on a dual
port NIC vs. one port each on two different dual port NICs?

The legacy Intel NIC could be PCI, and will be a bit faster than the Marvel
nics.

at 1Gbps or below? No, assuming they’re PCIe NICs and have a correct MSI-X
