When are we going to have affordable 10GbPS ethernet

is it now ???
I think most people are still having problem hitting the limit of 1Gbps.

About the only people actually hitting the limits are enterprise users and maybe the random guy with the cash to blow on raiding some SSD's for his home server.
 
it's not that expensive dual 10gbe card like $500-800 - but the popular engines eat 1GB of buffer per port (thats 2gb poof).

they have special copper interconnects that are cheap - hp has a super cheap direct connect now - like $100 for 15m cable no sfp's needed. not meant for long hauls.
 
direct attach cable 10baseCR - its a cheaper version of CX4 - doesn't travel as far.

how cheap is a 5 meter end to end X2 10gbe anyways? just curious
 
Some manufacturers are touting their 40 Gbps ethernet kit as 'better value' than 10 Gbps ethernet.

I'm not quite sure what their logic is, as the 40 Gbps stuff isn't cheap at all. And unlike 10GBaseT which runs 55 meters over standard Cat6 cable, 40GBaseCR4 uses infiniband cables, which are about 100x the price of Cat6 cable.
 
just use nic teaming on a dual port gigabit - ghetto but hay you can use existing wiring/switches and you can get double the output rate
 
the nic might be affordable, but have u guys checkout the price of a 10Gbps switches ?
hmmm a new hyundai or 10Gbps switch?? ehhehehe
 
All of this is irrelevant for internet use.

Right now the bottleneck is still at the modems used by ISP's. It's rare that one of those is actually a GBe port, so the bottleneck is there. I'm fine with GBe for the time being. Unless you're moving TB's of bulk transfer, or massive interactive (a/v) loads there is no current need for 10GB stuff in the home.

ISP's are the real bottleneck.
 
I move/sync my bluray library quite often and this would really help me.

It would also help me with keeping backup copies of VMs around.
