What i currently have is my old gaming PC repurposed as a NAS (Gigabyte AB350M, originally with a R7 1700, now a Ryzen 5 4600G) in a silverstone CS381 case and a 8x SAS PCIe card, which is running unraid with 6x SAS HDDs and two spare bays for tinkering (this setup is amazing for recovering dodgy HDDs in those two free bays with iSCSI i've found)
Switch is a Mikrotik CSS326-24G-2S+RM which has two SFP+ cages.
Currently i only want my NAS and main PC to be 10G, everything else can connect to the 1G ports. So i'm planning to just use the two SFP+ ports for these two PCs for now. (can add a small 10G switch later if needed)
The switch is literally next to the NAS, so i'm thinking a 1M direct attached cable there. What would be a okay (cheap preferably) SFP+ card to stick in the NAS for unraid? Any specific types to go for? Compatibility/low-cost i'd prefer here, my PC's are going to be the limiting factor for performance i think
For the switch to my PC link, i have a run of beefy cat6 between My PC and the switch laid. I just need to add the connectors.
On the switch's webpage, the S+RJ10 Is reccomended. Originals are very expensive, 'compatable' parts on aliexpress are relativelively cheap...
Any suggestions here? Need a SFP+ module on a Mikrotik switch to PCIe slot over cat6 cable setup.
