Hi,
My plan is to start really ramping up the number VM's I'm running on a Windows 8.1 PC for work/study. I'm very conscious that my 1 GBe's NICs are a bottleneck.
I'm contemplating buying 2 x Intel D99083 10GB XF Series 10GbE Single Port PCI-e Server Adapters Dell RN219 for my lab, but have a couple of questions before I commit the cash,
1) Will they actually work in a crossover (no switch) configuration
2) What would the estimated expected increase in performance be? Crystal Benchmark (1 gb file) currently getting the following stats from the Win 8.1 PC to a iSCSI drive on the FreeNAS server
SEQ
Read 108.3
Write 78.42
512K
Read 98.94
Write 75.1
4K
Read 9.296
Write 6.523
4K QD32
Read 86.66
Write 73.33
FreeNAS 9.2.1.3
