Dual 10GBe cards....

[sesipod]

Can I use the following cards to create a 10GBE Share-s ?

SUPERMICRO AOC-STG-i2T

Will they allow SMB / NFS / ISCSI ? ( I am a 10GBE noob ) Will they work just like my 1GBE cards ?

I am looking to make one share to my Proxmox server over NFS and then one share to a second FreeNAS server for RSYNC tasks overnight.

No, don't do it. Copper 10G is very limiting. We have a nice primer for you.

Copper 10G is very limiting

What about it is very limiting ?

I am looking at a run of Ethernet over 60FT.

I have been running on 1GBE for years. What kind of speeds would I see ? I am essentially wanting to backup my Z2 9x 3TB wd reds over the 60FT run.

The NFS would be over a 5FT cable if that.

Okay, so, here's the thing. When I point you at a document that answers the question you ask in your reply to my message, I don't feel particularly motivated to create a bespoke answer for you, because I feel like that is a losing proposition. I wrote the 10 Gig Networking Primer so that I could go into deep detail about the things I wanted people like you to know. I do not always have time or want to repeat that knowledge because you won't click on a link to get the better version of my knowledge.

Please review the 10 Gig Networking Primer.
