Shorthand

I've had to put an Intel 550 card in a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot on an old Dell T420 as it was the last one available (its our database server at the moment). We get a good solid 3 Gbps out of the machine ... which at the end of the day is still a 3x improvement over what we had. At current prices it might not be optimal, but its worth it. I will note that the machine is not running unraid and the application that fills up the interface is PostgreSQL ... for a single sshfs or rsync session, we only get just over 1 Gbps.
