Why not just block kodi from being installed?

Final update... So I ended up biting the bullet and got myself a Quanta LB4M that came with 2 x 10G SFPs plus Dual PSUs, and management cable included... for $100 US including shipping. Couldn't argue the value/$. I then ordered two small Noctua 40x40x10mm fans ($8/each). When it arrived I...

yeah, neither of those are "cheap", sadly. The netgear is closer to $1k Cdn atm, and ther 8024's are 3k+

yeah, with 10Ge you definitely don't need to worry about SMB multichannel. Unless your running a SAN/storage network at home that has 100+ disks and uber fast controllers. At my last contract job, we have 2 NetApp controllers with 2+ Petabytes of storage and we couldn't max out two separate...

It's the 10G-base-T that's gonna cost a small fortune for now. That's why I'm digging for a switch like this with 4 sfp's instead.

I've seen the 3300-28 for as low as $599, and you order yourself two connect-x 2 cards for $35, and you've at least got two 10GbE connections for well under $800 after shipping and whatnot.

Holy! that's really damn close. Its too bad they didn't offer a version with 4xSFPs.... argh! Unless there is a way to convert a ConnectX-2 card to 10G-Base-T...

Used would be fine.

I'm trying to find a reasonably priced switch that can do at least 4 ports of 10GbE (preferably via SFP+ modules), and 10-24 GigE ports. I'd like to keep it under $500 if possible (excluding the SFP's of course). Any/All suggestions are welcome. This is solely for home-lab use (primarily for...

NVM, answered my own question once I realized these were Fiber Channel switches, not SFC+ switches. ><

Yeah, It doesn't look like Synology supports SLA only LACP LAG (although they do support Network Fault Tollerance on multiple ports).

Can something like the : Brocade SilkWorm 200 series FC Switch be used for both iSCSI as well as "regular" tcpip traffic ? reason I ask, is that I'd like to buy one for cheap (ebay), and use some ports strictly for iSCSI/NFS traffic, but then also use 2-4 ports for standard tcp/ip traffic...

Also, It seems as though when I move the 3 ports that my NAS uses to a Trunk group, I then lose all connectivity to the NAS completely. It's quite odd.

No, someone had posted an early comment saying : "SMC SMCGS24C-Smart is very nice LGA" I had no idea what they meants as LGA, but I guess they erased their comment. I know what LAG is, however the main use for this for me is for my NAS, which I use as both a standard NAS, a Backup...
