Hmm, 12G SAS HBA or 10G NIC for a caching server...
2.5G networking doesn't quite sound fast enough but there isn't a 10g onboard nic as an option and I only get 1 pcie slot.
Could get a 10G nic and use the onboard sata for the spinning rust 🤔
This server is part of a collection of services that are mostly federated and run by a couple of furries.
