<div>SFPs? Are you know kidding me? For my home lab I bought a
pair of X540-T2 cards, which will even run over Cat5 for about a
metre. They use a lot more power than SFP though :)<br>

He he… 1m doesn't buy you much in a server room, so we're using
almost only 540-T2 over Cat6 and we never had a problem under
Solaris or OmniOS.<br>
I'd always choose the Intel 10GbEs over all other brands. I've had
horrible issues with Broadcom-based NICs in my Dells and they will
have to prove their reliability to a load of other people first,
before I will even consider, buying those again… but, I guess so
will other do as well. ;)<br>

would concur with what Chip said. We’ve had good luck
with the Intel X520s setup with LACP to a Nexus 5000 –
and also have a few X540s. The X520s are a bit picky
about SFPs but Appoved makes one that works and is
reasonably affordable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
