10Gb NIC daughterboard for the RR4312
Hi there!
I recently acquired a RR3312 array, and would like to get the daughterboard for the 10Gb NIC that the 4312 series uses. I have scoured the docs, and a part number isn't listed. I'm hoping that someone has a 4312 and can get me a couple of photo's or part numbers to search on.
Thanks!

That should read X520 or X540 -- editing of replies is broken, so I can't fix it.

I was able to fix it for you.
The Netgear part numbers are RN10G2SFP and RN10G2C, but I don't believe they were ever made available as an add-on. They are, as best I could tell when I had access to one, a Netgear-specific product. You are better off looking for a PCIE card. I know that an Intel or Supermicro branded Intel X520 or X540-based card will work with other rack-mount ReadyNAS (and even a 516, though installing one is a PITA) and see no reason one wouldn't work with the 3312. I've never tried other brands of those cards, but others may also work. AFAIK, the Kernel has no support for anything newer, so no multi-gig support.
Thank you! That gives me a starting place. This particular RR3312 is running TrueNAS, so I'd like to keep the 2 PCIe slots open for future expansion
