Hi,

New here, still not purchase Unraid but will do,

I have server HPE ML110 G10,

I looking for recommendations for dual 10gbe rj45 port ethernet that will works with the server and also with Unraid,

Can you give me some models please?

 

Regards.

Intel x540 or x550 will be stable and work well.

Intel X710 or mellanox if you can do SFP+.

From what I hear the x540 is warming a lot no?
No SFP currently.

I also saw that the x540 need x8 lane while x550 need x4 lane (and support various speeds like 2.5gbe/5gbe and 10gbe)

 

I think x550 is prefer, what do you think?

There's a reason I listed the x550. It's a good option, if the more expensive one. I'm on the fence about 2.5/5gbe value. I don't recall the x550 I have in a windows box (where I only had x4 available so went that route) supporting but I never tried either.

I mostly have SFP+ here. Only my backup unraid has to use rj45 and it's an x540 in a 2u... If it gets hot it's not an issue for me. And it was cheap, which is why I went that route. The machine spends most of its time powered off though.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes the X540 is very cheap (here in Israel) but I will wait for some X550.
