mbc0 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Hi, As well as my normal gigabit network I also have a 10gb/e connection from my Desktop machine to my unraid server using 2 Mellanox MCX311A-XCAT CX311A ConnectX-3 EN 10G Ethernet 10GbE SFP+ PCI-E NIC and an LC cable between the 2 I have now added another server into my rack and would also like to add 10gb/e so both servers and my Desktop can all benefit from 10gb/e I have googled for hours and am looking for advice from anyone else that may have a similar setup, would I be best to add another 2 cards (unraid server to unraid server) or is there an affordable (budget) 🙂 switch I could use to do this? Any advice greatly appreciated! Thank you Quote Link to comment
akkman Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 You can use a Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN switch. They go for about $140.00 on Amazon. It has 4 SFP+ ports and 1 RJ45. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LFKGP1L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment
