Hi

i'm building my first system, and I really want fast networking to my main computer (which has thunderbolt 3 - titan ridge)

I can't seem to find if unraid will allow me use thunderbolt 3 networking (10gbps) to another pc/mac

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.19/admin-guide/thunderbolt.html#networking-over-thunderbolt-cable

the kernel seems to support it, but I didn't find anyone with that setup.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

I don't know about thunderbolt 3 but you can use 10 GB ethernet card (onboard or not).
I do have 10 GB ethernet card but unfortunately I don't have 10 GB Switch yet so I can't confirm for sure but i think there's not much problem here.
Personally I have a Supermicro X11SSH and I believe the linux kernel does support it now since maybe 6.7 or 6.8 unraid versions. This can probably be confirmed reading through the documentation.

There is no support here for TB3 i learned the hard way aswell, once u go of mainstream u are on ur own. PM me maybe we can share or knowledge and find a solution

Thanks for the replays

@Dtrain - did you tried latest beta? The kernel should support thunderbolt 3.

 

 

 

I can confirm it's not working in unraid latest beta 

It does in OMV, Ubuntu, Windows, OS X

@limetechis TB3 support on the roadmap? I had a plan to add some egpus to my tb card and share them across some vms' without passthrough of entire controller - if UNRAID had this capbility i think it might be a game changer.
