I want a 10gb connection from my freenas to a linux server for iscsi VM use. I know I could use two Intel X540-t1 cards with a cat 6a cable to connect them but this is quite expensive.
Can anyone suggest a cheaper solution using older tech found on ebay? Mellanox, Quanta etc. My requirement is that I need it to support current version of freenas, and linux. It also needs to be connectable via a single cable and not requiring any intermediary switching.
thanks
