20g routing with NGFW features enabled. This is an effort to reduce power draw from my current Dell R620 that is currently my router.
Because i like to go fast. I have a 48 port 10g switch, all of my servers have 10g.
It came with them. I took them out in effort to switch from SATA 960GB SSDs...
Finally got the Intel X550-T2 and Intel X710-DA2 NICs in and installed and got some time to install opnsense 24.1. Using a ZFS mirror on the 960g SSDs. Just have to configure the interfaces then i think im ready to upload my cfg. Still throwing around the idea of disabling cores.
I 100% agree with this. We run two HyperV HA Clusters connected to a SAN in production with none of these issues. All of our IT guys also are running HyperV in their homelabs and are also having none of the problems listed.
We also run Proxmox in production. We have it on a 4 CPU server and it...
