Hello All,
Bought a house (yay!) and unfinished basement i will be working on eventually. I thought why not look to do fiber down there at least as that is where my home lab will be, my work station, media system. NAS all that.
I have found several NIC's for cheap but wonder what compatibility is like with Windows 10. Searching around on their models tends to not bring much up so i wanted to ask around to what everyone might be using?
Also, for cable, a client I work at has done plenty of cleaning, so they have a bunch of orange fiber they are tossing, being told a quick way to test it (flashlight) if they are good i may grab those.
They also tossed 2 HP Storagework SANS switches that have 16 HP A7446B StorageWorks 4 Gb Short Wave Single Pack SFP Transceivers. Are these only good for SAN, or could they be used with compatible HP FC NIc's?
