Larsson24 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I found this quad nic, Hpe HP Ethernet 1Gb 4P 331FLR Adpt, cheep in my country (around 20$). It's not Intel but Broadcom chipset. Am new to networking and wondering if this is any good and worth buying? I'm trying to build a pfsens vm and following this video series from Spaceinvader One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-40dgA5TFc Specs: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03225667 Quote Link to comment
DieFalse Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 If your intent is to pass all ports to the same docker/vm you will be fine. If you want to separate the ports that card is not so nice. Overall throughput will not be 1gb per port and will Max around 700mb to 750mb per port. If that is acceptable then you will be fine. The Intel cards are worth the price difference. Quote Link to comment
Larsson24 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Okej thank you for the answer. It sounds like it will work for me, at least for testing this setup. May upgrade in the future. Quote Link to comment
