Badly needs VLAN and LACP capabilities. Still good to have another product out there on the market.
Just not enough ports or management to be really useful in a homelab. Need at least 3-4 ports to have to compute nodes and storage. Not having management is also a killer.
How is performance?
4x 10gbe ports for the price would make sense…
What kind of cable you are using for the RJ45 ports?
But no test of the throughput, only that it connected at 10Gbit. Did I miss something?
