I was exploring some recent developments and stumbled upon a fascinating piece of equipment built for PCIe with 32 lanes. While researching, I came across a networking card boasting a 200 GbE speed, which immediately brought back memories of the video you shared about transferring files over a 10 gigabit connection. That’s roughly double the speed—though the right software might be needed to make it work smoothly. It would be great if someone could create a video explaining this technology. For your reference, the model I found is available at the link you provided. I’m not confident about purchasing it from that seller because the details are limited, but I’m sure similar options exist. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this hardware when you respond.

It’s a network card compatible with both PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 standards. While it offers 32 PCIe lanes, you’re unsure about the physical connection—whether it uses two 16x slots or a single 32x slot, which isn’t commonly available.

Recently LMG posted a tutorial about 100GbE Mellanox cards. They managed only 40GbE, possibly due to Windows restrictions or other factors. Unless they covered something server-focused—which isn't their main audience—I doubt improving to 200GbE would bring significant gains.
