Will NAS and PC communicate at 10GB speed using GC728XP?
I just purchased a GC728XP switch, but I'm not sure if I made the right choice. This is what I want to accomplish: 10GB communication between NAS and PC, main usage will be to work with 4K video fil...
If you talk of 10G DAC cables - yes. For this purpose yo can go shopping for 10GbE SFP+ cards for the NAS and the PC.
Thanks for the response.
Yes, the NAS and PC are the only two 10GB items I have, so I'll be using the other 24 ports for everything else. I should have been more clear in my explanation, I planned on disabling the 1GB NICs in the NAS and PC.
As far as the NAS, it is a custom build :
ASUS WS C246M PRO uATX Server Motherboard
Intel Xeon E-2176G
16GB ECC Memory
3X Seagate EXOS HDDs Raid 5 (for now) will change to 6 when I add more drives.
Running OpenMediaVault software.
For the decision on teh 10 GBE cards you need to think about the connectivity you want to achieve - or what is already in place. Alternate to a DAC or SFP+ fiber transceivers you can think about using SFP+ 10 GbE modules on the switch side, and use a [probably existing] CAT6 or better in-house cabling, and install 10GbE copper interfaces (RJ45).
Again, I should've been more clear, I apologize.
The PC, NAS and Switch will all be within close proximity of one another (6 feet max). Will copper passive cabling and transceivers be sufficient?
