Test Dell Intel 942V6 X520-DA2 Dual-Port 10Gb SFP+ PCIe NIC #47
Description
This is a fun one, sent to me by Jacob Hiltz:
It's a Dell Intel 942V6 X520-DA2 Dual-Port 10Gb SFP+ PCIe NIC, and it's a little over a hundred bucks new. This was pulled from a Dell server and I have a couple SFP+ 10 Gbps cables (see related: #21).
From my experience with the ASUS 10G adapter (see #15), I know I'll probably not get more than about 3.2 Gbps through the card... but it would be very interesting to see if both 10G interfaces show up and could be used simultaneously.
Having better latency and a solid connection like SFP+ opens up some interesting possibilities. And it's just darn fun.
