As long as the SFP's (also referred to as a Gbic) are the same speed/type, and the card(s) support said SFP's, and the fiber cable is the rated for correct speed that the SFP's use.

Kind of a pain in the ass to do all this though.

Thanks anon.

I went with the Jewtel x540-T2 with 20ft CAT6a for server and a x540-T1 for the receiving PC.

All under $300. Not too damn bad desu desu.

Can't believe prices have fallen so much over the last 2 years for 10GbE.

Was worth the wait.

Specs?

>>61945662
Dual E5-2650, 128GB RAM, in the pic it has 5x Intel X520 and one Intel x540 onboard. Some LSI 12g SAS HBA. I wasnt using it at the time, now it only has 2x X520s and 2 HBAs, 4x 480GB Seagate 600 Pros, 8x Seagate 4TB Terascales and is the 2nd node in my vSphere cluster.

Have you considered bonding interfaces together, implementing jumbo/giant frames, or tweaking SMB a bit?
