Kancept<p>My hardlined network is currently all 1GB ethernet connections. I have a few machines that have 2.5gb Ethernet ability and am debating going the cheap route and just getting a 2.5gb switch. </p><p>I also have 2 Sun Infiniband 40gb switches and a ton of Infiniband PCIe cards, but holy heck is rack mount network gear loud AF. </p><p>I'd love to move to 40gb but can't seem to find decent desktop switches for it. Is it only data centre grade equipment? Should I just sell it off and go 10gb Ethernet? </p><p>I know Infiniband offers a lot more than just basic networking, but only one or two of my machines would support those goodies. </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infiniband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infiniband</span></a> <br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> <br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>networking</span></a></p>
