Given that hardware, buy something like this instead. used, but better class of card. https://www.newegg.com/intel-e10g42bt/p/N82E16833106075?Description=10gbit%20card&cm_re=10gbit_card-_-33-106-075-_-Product&quicklink=true or something similar from the used sellers. There seem to be a decent variety of cards under $100. Manufacturers that are good are HPE/DELL/Intel/Broadcom/IBM/Lenovo. But you do need to do a bit of research on the given cards to see what the real chipset is. Avoid Emulex/Be2net variants they have "issues". Intel/Broadcom/Mellanox based cards are good.
This is awesome, thank you very much! I'm still trying to get up to speed on 10G networking, I genuinely appreciate this advice.
With that two port card, I could get three and just run direct cables from my desktop to the servers, then a cable between the servers. No switch required, and it would be fast as heck.
Thanks!
