    Anyone had a play with one of these in 10Gig Bast-T form?

    Seem cheaper than Atto Thunderlink but does that mean not as good ?

    ok Simon, I have to hand it to you. You are better than me. You found this, you found the Netgear 10G switch – you find all kinds of cool stuff long before me.

    I have not tested this product.

    Have you played with the atto thunder link ? Driver have options for tweaking ? Not sure this has a guy for tweaking… suppose its prob just an Intel card inside?

    Haha classic!

    So thoughts Steve ? Atto or Sanlink ? Both as good or ATTO worth the extra $$$ ?

    Since we sell the SANlink, I obviously like it better 🙂 I’m also a lot more familiar with the driver code.

    But you have the ThunderNet also.

    So are they tweakable ? Or is that an OEM access only thing?

    Any tips ? 🙂

    The ThunderNET product is primarily so we can offer optical and larger port count devices. The SANLink is currently just 2 10GbaseT ports.

    Coincidentally enough, both devices have all the same tweakable parameters! It’s very convenient.
