        @Romo Yep, that's the EdgeMax version but at $599 and good luck finding it at that price and in stock (usually in preorder status). Canadian resellers have been advertising this one at around $899 CDN but no stock. And this price point is more difficult to obtain the WAF (wife approval factor) than the $299 price.

        Didn't really check out the price, I was actually just telling @JaredBusch an edge max version appeared to exist.

        And by the way you did get a good price for the Unify versionof the switch, this is the price I see from your link

          If you are signed in and part of the beta program you see the $299

            How much are the sfp+ you need for it?

            I've been using DAC cables with my EdgeMax switch and they've been working perfectly. I ordered these and haven't had any issues with them.

            http://www.natex.us/product-p/sfpcables24.htm

            TIL those are a thing

            Don't know why I'm surprised but I am

              @Dashrender The file server VM is currently at about 40TB used of 56TB available. Plus a number of other VMs that are all together using about 3-6TB (depending how many VMs I'm testing with at any one time). In total, I have a need for close to 46TB of backup space when you add it all up.

                    Damn, that's one hell of a collection. Any guesitmate on the number of movies?

                    I paid VUDU $1-2 a movie to convert my DVD/Bluray collection to streaming (and still get to keep the disk). I spent around $150 for my whole collection - I don't have a large movie collection.

                    Of course there is the issue of those movies that Vudu doesn't have, like Indiana Jones, or back then they didn't have Star Wars or any Disney films (and today getting Disney movies and Star Wars would require repurchasing them).

                      That's pretty impressive... I have quite a bit of blu-rays ripped and my plex server is only using 3TB

                          Just curious, what do you gain by having 10Gb at home? [snipped]... I'm wondering what I'm missing?

                            Finally got the switch setup last night. iPerf tests today show a 8.7Gbps to 9.3Gbps transfer between hosts and VMs.

                                  That's between 2 Windows Server 2012R2 hosts with 1 running a cloud backup at the moment.

                                    I don't know to read that.

                                    I see the SUM at the bottom, but don't know what it means.

                                        If I had to guess it is running multiple streams at the same time and is summed at the SUM

                                          Yes, that was my assumption.
