advice of 10GbE NIC

[kanichkhun]

before i order this NIC, can i confirm that it works with unraid?

intel ethernet converged network adapter x540-t2 

 

having said this, would it work with windows 7/10 too? if not my pc solution, i will use asus new nic 10gbe.

 

what do you think, guys

[kanichkhun]

has to be rj45, im aware the fiber solution is cheaper.

 

the x540-t2 can get around 80-95usd in ebay.

 

my motherboard is supermicro X9SCM-F.

Settings -> Network Settings -> Interface Rules

 

Select which NIC you want as eth0 and configure it, you'll need to reboot to apply any interface rules change.

 

You can use the boot GUI mode to configure these if you don't currently have network access.

thanks johnnie for the quick reply.. let me see if it works.. i ain't sure of the linux command code to list out the eth addresses 

[kanichkhun]

i got it working already.. i see this address to the device is different to the other 2 which is pretty similar except last digit.. so i picked the other address and it is working.. 

thank you!
