March 5, 20242 yr There was a time i had many devices and servers on my network. All that stuff was quite power hungry. I moved and dropped most of the stuff i had. I kept network devices (unifi gear ) that i'm willing to sell to have smaller and savier devices. I'm replacing my main unraid server which is a HP Z620 with sfp connect x3 10Gb card with a small minisforum ms01 (2xSFP+, 2 x 2.5G). I use one of the 2 2,5G port fort vpro management (corresponding interface is down in unraid). In my basement i have a switch (unifi 48 poe) with uplink to 1st and 3rd floor (1G link from switch sfp cages to transceivers). There is only 5 ports on 52 used and it consumes around 65W. On the basement switch there will be the minisforum MS01 and a rpi. The Z620 will be moved to third floor and will be a backup server. As a good geek i'd like to leverage the capacity of ms01. So i was thinking on using a 10G interface for dockers, vms, unraid gui and the other 10G interface for the link with backup server. Is it possible ? and does it make sense? i would need to replace the us48 switch with a smaller one with at least 4sfp+ cages (hassivo seems to be a good option) and the 3rd floor transceiver with a sfp+ switch.
