    Active(!) x16 PCIe 4 (or better) NVMe add-on card sought

    For a moment there I thought this might be it, though upon closer inspection, it says PCIe 3 on the case. Upon even closer inspection, this looks to be passive/dumb.

    Active(!) x16 PCIe 4 (or better) NVMe add-on card sought

    Anyone knows of any active (i.e. no mobo bifurcation needed) x16 NVMe add-on cards that are PCIe 4 (preferably 5)? I’ve seen plenty of PCIe 3 such cards, though nothing beyond that.

    which NAS for home and docker support ?

    ASUS' FS6712X looks good, but, if you ask me, it sounds too good to be true. How can the N5105 handle all that, I wonder?

    10GbE all-NVMe NAS: ASUS' Flashstor Pro (FS6712X)

    In the market for a 10GbE all-NVMe NAS. I have been giving ASUS' FS6712X a long hard look. My main concern: how can the N5105 possibly handle all that??? The N5105 only has 8 PCIe 3.x lanes: how could that accommodate 12 NVMes + one 10GbE (among many others)?

    Looking for a 10Gbps wired router

    Alright guys, got my router, installed it, and things are fine. Many thanks to all of you who helped make this purchase. Here's one question for all of youse: the default router setting assigns each of the LAN Ethernet ports a separate subnet (192.168.10x.xxx): is there anything ... superior...

    Looking for a 10Gbps wired router

    Thanks, I saw that review. It's more of an unboxing and a parade of specs rather than an actual "put it through its paces" kind of thing. I would have loved to see a few benchmarks, to see if it indeed delivers on the promised 10Gbps throughput (or something close). Anyway I have already ordered...

    Looking for a 10Gbps wired router

    Spec-wise, the 322 sounds AMAZING! EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Reviews on Amazon, however, are a downer. I will, nevertheless, order one asap, and test it. Excellent find! Many thanks for the recommendation!!!

    Looking for a 10Gbps wired router

    Yeah, that is, indeed, what I was afraid of. I might need to build an actual tower.

    WiFi 7 APs: help me decide between EAP783 and the U7 Pro Max

    I do not need dual 6GHz radios, no backhaul needed, no mesh scenario. I do need at least two 10GbE LAN ports though, and the BE98 Pro is the only one that offers that, unfortunately.

    WiFi 7 APs: help me decide between EAP783 and the U7 Pro Max

    I have also been contemplating the eero PoE Gateway (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HJNCG81?tag=snbforums-20), though it's awfully expensive, and Dong doesn't like its wired performance, which, indeed, looks laughable:

    WiFi 7 APs: help me decide between EAP783 and the U7 Pro Max

    I have been looking long and hard at that one for the past month. I need at least two (ideally three or four) 10GbE LAN ports, and one 2.5GbE or better WAN. The Omada does not have that.

    Looking for a 10Gbps wired router

    Thanks, I have, indeed, been thinking about building my own router, though I am having trouble finding a barebone computer that is small enough to hang onto a wall where my present router resides. Recommendations welcome.

    WiFi 7 APs: help me decide between EAP783 and the U7 Pro Max

    Router needs at least 2x10Gbps LAN ports, and ideally one 10Gbps WAN port, but I could settle for a 2.5Gbps WAN if need be. The Omada wired router does not have that, the Mikrotik does. As for my ultimate purpose, I need something that does the same things (qualitatively speaking) but better...

    WiFi 7 APs: help me decide between EAP783 and the U7 Pro Max

    The choice is between the ASUS wireless router on the one hand, and the combination EAP783 + https://mikrotik.com/product/ccr2004_1g_12s_2xs#fndtn-specifications on the other. Which one would be better?

    Looking for a 10Gbps wired router

    I have been looking at this: https://mikrotik.com/product/ccr2004_1g_12s_2xs#fndtn-specifications for a new wired router. Will this deliver better wired routing speeds than ASUS's GT-BE98 PRO? It's certainly older than the ASUS.
