Anyone using Thecus Zub NAS C10GTR 10GBE Card? Suggestions?

[mmenaz]

I want to use this ethernet nic to connect 10Gbit 2 node with drbd (and 3° node for quorum) since is much cheaper than Intel ones, but wondering if it works. Any experience?
Reliable alternatives?
Thanks in advance

I know about Thecus Zub NAS C10GTR nothing, but i really suggest using Intel brandad NICs in real production - they are very reliable and have good performance. Intel X540 T or T2 are very good choise, but are not cheap. You can use also some Broadcom 10Gbps fiberoptic NICs – the cost will be same. Some 10Gbps NICs you can get in some motherboards - for example Supermicro X10DRi-T has dual 10G NIC. If this is not production and mission critical system for you - you can use any, supported in Linux.
