Hello,
I have a ProLiant ML350p Gen8. I am running it virtualized and looking at getting a NAS for virtual machine storage instead of local disk storage. I don't want to run standard 1Gbps as that would be a signifncant bottle neck for disk speed.
First, does the ProLiant ML350p Gen8 motherboard bus even support running at full 10Gbps? If so, what NIC do you recommend? Should I go with an official HP branded 10Gbps NIC, or can I pickup a standard 10Gbps NIC like this one https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-XG-C100C-Network-Adapter-Single/dp/B072N84DG6/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=10gb+nic&qid=1587195870&sr=8-14
Finally, recommendations on going with stadard Cat 6a or SFP+ connectors?
Thanks.
