[CentOS] 10 Gbps adapter recommendation

We use the Supermicro X9 and X10 motherboards with built in X540 10gbe intel. Centos 6.X and on just work :)

We have optimized the nics a bit per this


https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2009/ols2009-pages-169-184.pdf


The mobo is like $550 to $600 with built in nics :0) - the nics alone run $450

For high end applications we use SolarFlare SFN7122 but those are still around $900 each for 2 port.

Thanks Gotz,

I'll definitely do some storage on them, Gluster/DRBD/ISCSI, but also general traffic; I just want to replace 1 Gbps as much as possible, budgets allows.
