Choosing the right 10Gbit Base-T card

[ZS-Man]

Hi all,
I choose a suitable 2x10Gbit Base-T network card to connect to shared storage for my 3node Proxmox cluster. I'm choosing between Intel and Supermicro.
1. Intel® Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540-T2 https://ark.intel.com/products/58954/Intel-Ethernet-Converged-Network-Adapter-X540-T2
2. Supermicro STGS-I2T - Dual port 10GbE (10GbE-T) X550AT2 http://www.abacus.cz/supermicro-stg...05.html?action=setcursetlng&lngid=1&curid=14&

Storage will be ZFS (Freenas or OmniOS+NappIT), NFS or iSCSI ( I will testing).
So what card will be better? Supermicro have newer chipset and half price of Intel.

Does intel have any extra (must have) features usable for this connection? Or I can easily choose Supermicro?
(SFP is not possible, I must stay on Base-T)

Thank you for the advice.

Hi,

they use both the same ixgbe driver so from Proxmox side they are similar.
