  I’d say, depends on what you wanna do with it; e.g. iscsi trafic too, how mayn ports, copper or sfp+?

  We have intel and emulex (including hardware iscsi) cards in use and no trouble so far. Depending on the intended purpose.

• Thanks Gotz,

  I’ll definitely do some storage on them, Gluster/DRBD/ISCSI, but also general traffic; I just want to replace 1 Gbps as much as possible, budgets allows.

• We use the Supermicro X9 and X10 motherboards with built in X540 10gbe intel. CentOS 6.X and on just work :)

  We have optimized the nics a bit per this

  https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2009/ols2009-pages-169-184.pdf

  The mobo is like $550 to $600 with built in nics :0) – the nics alone run $450

  For high end applications we use SolarFlare SFN7122 but those are still around $900 each for 2 port.

• lots of infiniband stuff, 20gbps grade, exceptionally cheap off ebay.

• I have had good experience with Chelsio 10G cards on CentOS 5 (drivers in the default kernel).
