10 GbE interface card
10 GbE interface card
You're asking about using two HP 530FLR-SFP+ NICs for higher-speed connections between your PC and server. The ports you mentioned are SFP+ interfaces, which can support up to 20 gigabits per second if properly configured. Yes, it's possible—just ensure both devices are set up correctly and the cables are compatible. Don’t worry, it’s not stupid! Let me know if you need help with setup. Thanks, 7idge
It won't function exactly as you imagine. Ideally, you'd receive two separate transfers of 10Gbit each if you configure it properly and balance the load. However, a single 20Gbit transfer between two endpoints over two links isn't feasible this way. SMBv3 could potentially handle it, but I'm not sure if a correct implementation is available in Windows yet.
