tfw you buy hardware so overpowered that you accidentally get an account manager and they think you listed your order as "personal" by mistake

@koakuma I wish there were decent refurbishers left in Norway that sold to private individuals

@quad what kind of hardware would you need for personal use that warrants something like this?

@duponin @cirno @cadence Actually just a single NAS.But maybe one day I'll have the hardware needed to set up some kind of distributed storage system as well.

@quad @shpuld I wonder why motherboard manufactures are starting to put RJ45 10G networking on their products when SFP+ is the standard for high speed parts and there aren't any RJ45 10G consumer routers that I know of

@benis @shpuld Because:1. Because RJ45 is the standard client connector. SFP+ is for low-latency short backend links or long-range fiber. It just so happens that this is currently a far more common use-case for 10 Gbit than client devices. Same with regular 1 Gbit SFP2. Because if they put an RJ45 port on the motherboard it's backwards compatible with 1 Gbit RJ45. If they put SFP+ on it they'd probably also need a separate 1 Gbit interface anyways.3. Honestly there aren't many consumer motherboards with 10 Gbit. Some have 2.5 Gbit, which is only done over RJ45, 2.5 Gbit SFP+ isn't really a thing.

@quad @shpuld the main problem I figure is mainly board space, since SFP connectors are 4(?) times as long as RJ45 and could collide with the CPU's keep out zoneStill, the router problem remains

@benis @shpuld Consumer routers faster than 1 Gbit won't be commonplace anytime soon.RJ45 ports in excess of 1 Gbit are currently used mostly by prosumers who for example have a fast NAS. Of course some companies also buy them for cost savings (Because gaming mobo with 2.5 Gbit is often cheaper than regular mobo + 2.5+ Gbit PCI-E card).Consumer routers faster than 1 Gbit do exist though. For example Telia sells 1.25 Gbit in Norway. And I've heard of countries where 2 Gbit or more isn't too uncommon. But still the routers will typically have a fast WAN interface but regular 1 Gbit interfaces for the LAN

@benis @shpuld @quad there are 10Gbit Base-T Gamingâ„¢ Ethernet switches but last time I checked, they werre more expensive than a second-hand 24-port managed switch with 2 SFP+ cages plus two SR SFP+ modules from fs.com, plus 5m of fiber-optic cable.And if the distance is short enough for a direct-attach cable instead of fiber, you don't need the SFP+ modules, so it's even cheaper.
