Of course not. That person needs to sell their house. But this is an online tech forum... a niche part of society. I don't assume i'm talking to those people, especially not when they bring up the topic of 10gbe. Don't get me started on DSL. I have a friend in the boonies who is within 800 meters of a fiber backed node, and when the isp has to come out and replace their run to the node... they run more telephone line. Imagine being 800 meters from fiber internet... and being bottlenecked by brand new rj11. 8mb dsl.. they wish... its more like 3mb on a good day, when its working.
People often ask why they require 1Gbit or 100Mbit, especially in discussions online. It can be really frustrating. I don’t feel the need to ask if it’s necessary. Everything involving computers seems to be enterprise-level until something changes. 10Gbe has been around since 2003—about fifteen years, which is too long for regular users. It’s four years ahead of Intel’s first mainstream Dual Core processor. With a NAS SSD, I’d need 10Gbit. A single 960 Pro can read 2.1 Gbyte/s, which equals 16-18 Gbit/s. In any case, it looks like there’s no solid reason it shouldn’t exist. USB-C to HDMI 4k at 60Hz still requires compression, and even then you need more than 10Gbit for HDMI. It seems demand hasn’t caught up yet.
No need to develop them since there’s no demand for them. Once consumer-grade switches reaching 10Gbit become widespread, they might begin to be introduced, but until then, no one will create them just because a few people think it would be convenient. A viable market and profit are essential to invest time and resources into this. Edit: Thunderbolt upgrading to 10GbE is still limited, and USB-C to 10GbE is rare. Only a couple of products currently offer that over Thunderbolt.
That right. But I need no reason why not so much exists yet or explanations how the market works I just need a link to a product I can buy. USB-C on one end. 10GBE on the other. And since many AM4 and LGA 1151 boards have 10gbit and ASUS Adapter costs 80bucks, I guess now is the time cheap 10GbE will come soon.
Due to high costs and the fact that moving big files between local storage and the internet isn’t practical, it’s not worth it. Even if you try, most home networks won’t handle it well—especially with a single mechanical HDD that can only reach about 1Gbps. Such heavy usage would involve many video streams using different paths, switching between the NAS, the internet, and various ports on your switch. Even high-quality movies won’t hit the limit, they’ll likely stay under 100Mbps.
I understand your frustration. It's tough to get genuine help without feeling pressured. If you're looking for a 10gb network, build one yourself. Don't let anyone try to push their agenda on you. I recall hearing similar advice when I got my 6gb GTX Titans. Many 780 owners insisted on 3gb only, and they were right. Seek cards with less than 4gb now—my Titans work perfectly at 4k. Where have the 780 owners gone? Those who resist will face backlash.
I configured my 10Gbe peer-to-peer between the two PCs and the NAS for less than $150 now. It works best when they're in the same room, not far apart. The expensive switches are limiting performance. I used two single-port connectX with SFP+ and one dual-port connectX with SFP+—they plugged in easily without any flashing. Just set up MTU and jumbo frames, and it was ready to go. Once installed, it runs incredibly fast compared to anything else. I didn’t need a RAM disk setup; I just wanted this speed!
I purchased a 24-port TP-Link switch with four 10GB SFTP+ ports for $250 on Amazon. I believe the price was incorrect since it increased to around $380 after buying it.
I've been tracking prices lately—it's not a big deal, but it serves as a link between other systems. There seems to be a cap on SFP+ lengths, wasn't there? I remember when I bought the cables it was around 30 feet. I'll check to see if anything has changed.
