Been Wanting 10Gb Lab For A While
-
I've been complaining about my current Ubiquiti ES48 switch only having 2 SFP+ ports for 10G and I've had a few Intel X520-DA2 cards installed on my home lab servers for a while just waiting for a reason to make the full move to 10G. Looks like I found it.

Beta, true, and I may have a few headaches but it's for the home lab so I figured, at $299 for a 16 port 10G switch, I had to do it. Cross my fingers it doesn't turn out to be a dud.

We'll need some screen shots of you shuffling bits about to get properly envious mate
Best of luck!
-
@MattSpeller I'll be sure to post.
-
Very nice, I need this for the house!
-
Congrats, post a review when you can!
-
I don't think certain users are allowed it. The site redirects me to the store home page.
-
@Breffni-Potter Yeah, the store is for US only but I'm Canadian and I managed to keep returning and clearing my cache and eventually let me in. I have family that lives in NY state so it's getting shipped there. And you have to register for the beta program to see the 299 price otherwise it only shows 599 on the site.
-
I did not have to register for the beta and got the price, kept bouncing me off.
If US shipping was not so expensive...

Why would the US be involved? UBNT isn't in the US, nor are you.

Wait, UBNT is only selling to the US for their new stuff, even though they are Canadian? I'm so confused.
-
If its for the US store for a US beta, that implies their stock/distribution is US based.
Alternatively I could try it.

@scottalanmiller The UBNT online store is only available in the US.

It really sucks living in Canada. Even your own companies hate you.

@scottalanmiller Corporate HQ is in California.

There are perks - making fun of America(ns) is practically a national past time.

I could have sworn that they were in Canada.
-
@scottalanmiller Nope. There is a reseller in Canada that uses ubnt.ca but they make it clear there is no association with ubnt.com.

I did see that, I know that that website was not them, at least.

How much are the sfp+ you need for it?
-
I hate how this stuff is all unifi. no love for the edgemax line.
