as explained on the title
can i use these (two of 10 gig nics and sfp+ cable) in direct attach config
(i dont know if they have the feature or not since i read not all sfp+ cables and nic's have direct attach)
i will buy two of these for my PC and NAS :
RT8N1 0RT8N1 DELL MELLANOX CONNECTX-2 PCIe 10GBe ETHERNET NIC SERVER ADAPTER
and one cable :
5M SFP+ 10GB 10GBe 16ft Twinax Ethernet cable Molex Hitachi Dell HP Cisco IBM
i have synology nas ds3615xs and PC wich i need very fast connection between them with as minimum cost as possible
the specific card i listed here is not tested by synology for compatibility but synology nic or other on that list cost much more ($190 and up)
the tested list :
Compatibility | Synology Inc.
do you think this will work ?
i only ask about the native hardware support from the nic and cable in the links for direct attach
since i read a while ago (cant remember where) that not all sfp+ nic's and cables support direct attach and you need to make sure the one you chose support it
i am new to sfp world and need your help
thanks
