I installed TrueNAS Scale just a week ago, so I am completely new to the environment. I run a fileserver on a Promise 8-bay 2U server (it's a Vess A3340d, intentionally a video management server). I will provide the specifications below. At the moment, the NAS runs off of its built in NIC, but I am planning on buying a 10Gbps NIC. I have my eyes on an Intel X520-DA2 from oracle, which is for sale on eBay including MMF transceivers.
Please don't laugh at me, but my question is whether the brand of the X520-DA2 matters. I come along a lot of brands ranging from Dell to Intel itself all the way to some Chinese 'Inspur' ones. I came across this Sun Oracle one available on eBay (which seems legit), and I wonder if this will work with TrueNAS Scale 22.12.3.
As I couldn't find anything on the forum about this card, and also just the simple question if the brand of a NIC matters, I thought why not ask it?
All help is welcome, if I missed something on the forum, please let me know as well!
