Anyone looked into this or similar? Was looking for a 10 gigger card and stumbled on this.

Thought this was 10gbic nic over usb-c and got excited for a moment. I'm waiting for them to do a single port sfp NIC over 1x lane of PCIe 4.0.

Still a neat little card if I had a use for it.

I doubt there is much of a market for x1 sfp+ cards tho.

Id expect most do same as i do now, just stick a x4/x8 card in the x1 slot.

Pretty handy looking, but an SFP+ port would be better than the 10gbe rj45.

It tends to go hand in hand with a nas with built in 10gbase-t switch.

Sfp+ tends to have a latency pitch in this segment, that ship has sailed with the nic behind a switch.

I am really struggling to parse this. What?

[–] cruzaderNO@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Everytime i see that card i go "who on earth is this for, who would want this".

Beyond being behind a plx switch for added latency there is not actualy enough bandwidth to support using all 3 features.

The plus side of selling to graphics market i guess, they are "non-tech tech'.
