bionicrocky Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hello - please feel free to send me to another resource if this isn't where I should ask: Is there a recommended affordable 10Gb NIC manufacturer and model people have had good luck with? I have no preference between ethernet or SFP+, either will work for my application. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Mellanox ConnectX-2, it's one of the cheapest out there and works fine with Unraid Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 A copper and affordable NIC is the Asus XG-C100C Quote Link to comment
troehl Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) I am having problems with a card based on the Aquantia chip used by the Asus XG-C100C. When I insert the Synology E10G18-T1 unraid crashes after a short time. Xpenology on the same Hardware runs rocksolid with this card and gives great transfer rates (SSD to SSD of course). The Mellanox X2 works on both systems. No idea, maybe Synology modified the Linux driver? Both unraid an Synology are Linux bases systems. Any idea? I need to use the copper NIC, because my worksystem is a Macbook and there are only copper thunderbolt 3 cards. Edited October 24, 2018 by troehl Quote Link to comment

Thanks 👍 EDIT: it's been dealt with 😉 Edited October 30, 2019 by Zonediver Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) do they work with windows 10. Yes, plug 'n play Edit: I use x64 Windows, don't know about x86 if anyone is still using 32bits. Edited November 8, 2019 by johnnie.black Quote Link to comment
