Happy weekend everyone, I need to pick an adapter for my future ceph cluster. I plan to connect the nodes directly to each other, do any of you have any experience with any of these adapters?

Seems the specs on the 100HF are weak.

The e810 will be a no brainer? Broadcom is expensive..

wondering a lot about the CX456B which I believe is a Dell branded
