10GbE NIC for Ryzen B450?

Hi, Need advice for 10Gbe NIC card for UNRAID build below, please. This is only for media streaming with parity backup and NVME cache.

From reading online it looks like Connect X2 or X3 has good support, but need confidence on Ryzen B450 compatibility.

 

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G

MB - Asrock B450 ITX Fatality

10GbE NIC - ???

Cache - Seagate IronWolf 510 480GB NAS SSD NVME PCIE x4

Parity + HDD - 2 x Seagate IronWolf 8TB 

RAM - Timetec Hynix IC 16GB KIT Unb ECC

10GbE Switch - QNAP QSW-308-1C , with 3-Port 10G SFP+

NAS to Switch Connection - 10Gtek SFP+ DAC Twinax Cable 1m

 

I think I made a mistake buying on Ebay a System X Server NIC:

IBM/EMULEX 10GBE Dual Port Virtual Network Adapter Card P005630-05B FRU 49Y7952

 

Thanks!

I use Intel X520 and Connect X3 ( need flash from IB to Eth firmware ), both work well with Unraid.

I also have Emulex old gen OCE-10xxx adapter, it work with Unraid ( be2net driver ) by flash it to another firmware something like 4.x.x ( can't remember ).

49Y7952 should be newer gen OCE-11xx adapter. You may search / try any firmware would make it work.
