Hey guys!
I'd like to improve my network speed by switching from link aggregated GbE to 10 GbE (ten gigabit of copper ethernet) or SFP+ (fibre channel). Is anyone already using this on a hackintosh? I can't a lot of information about that.
I found the Thecus C10GTR using a Tehuti TN4010 chip. Tehuti announced mac os x support in a press release, but I can't find a driver. The card is 200 $ only.
The Netgear XS708E is 800 $ only and would be a nice 8 port switch for that card, but is unmanaged.
On the other hand there is fibre channel. I found the ASUS PEB-10G, a cheaper SFP+ card using Broadcom BCM57712/BCM8727 or the HP 81Q using Qlogic QLE2560. I can't find any drivers anywhere. And the cheapest 10 Gb fibre channel switch is far more expensive than the Netgear.
But anyway, I would invest if somebody shows me a setup with really good transfer speed that will work on my hackintosh. Thunderbolt isn't an option at this point.
Is there a list with supported 10 Gb network chips in yosemite or mavericks?
Cheers,
Dogman
