yes, that would give way more speed if those desktops need that kind of speed.
"Need" is relative. ;-) But I use one of the servers as a hypervisor for testing stuff, and the other is a file server. I'm mostly thinking about the file server, that's where I export /home and then mount it on my desktop. I'd like that to be faster.
I have had bad enough luck with consumer grade SATA/SAS cards and nic cards that the used enterprise grade of either is a lot more likely to work reliably.
I generally do the same thing, my enterprise gear is all used and I have a vendor in Houston I have had really good luck with (ServerMonkey).
I won't touch a consumer brand of that sort of stuff (unless it comes with the MB) simply because when I need a card I can get a used enterprise for about the same price and know that it will work.
I generally agree, but I was leaning towards consumer grade this time primarily for noise reasons. Enterprise class gear is just noisy as heck, and I am trying to keep the noise levels down in my home office. It's already pretty loud with the Proliants. Enterprise class switches with SFP+ modules are usually loud as heck, and expensive - you have to buy the SFP+ modules in addition to the switches. That adds up pretty quick for a home lab. Gotta keep the bride happy, you know?
