M.2 10G
M.2 10G
This is the M.2-to-SFP+ 10Gb setup I tested, and it’s surprisingly legit for the money. The big gotcha is power: it needs SATA power, and once I powered it properly, it showed up and pushed full 10Gb in iperf3. If you’re slot-limited but have spare M.2, it’s a really interesting option.
