Hi everybody
Im really interested in infiniband, and trying to use 40Gb but i dont want to go out and spend money on these cards only to find out they're not supported in freenas. Could you confirm whether infiniband cards will work on freenas and windows 10, and which are the best to go for and also if the ones ive found on ebay are any good (listed below). Plus if im trying to set up a peer to peer connection between two of the same cards, one in freenas and one in a windows 10 machine does it matter what DAC (Direct Attatch Copper) i buy as i was looking at fs.com and their are many variations with their guaranteed compatibility with a specific companies hardware and so i was wondering if that is neccessary and whether a QSFP+ cable would do off ebay (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/X6557-R6-QSFP-Data-SAS-Cable-0-5M/372626447924)
My options for QSFP+ cards are either of these could anybody suggest which has the best compatiability with both freenas and Windows 10:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QLOGIC-Q...PCI-Express-PCI-E-Adapter-40GB-s/202236192837
Plus is it possible in freenas to use lacp with these types of cards in a peer to peer network - i.e. set it up like smb multichannel.
Many Thanks
Ryan
