The #server is up, with 4xNVMe (mirror #ZFS special device, Intel Optane ZFS SLOG, and #Proxmox datastore). 2x8 TB HDDs, and 2x25 Gbit NIC, with cooling.

Now to configure the ZFS pool, and I need a #25Gbit switch.

Okay, there is the MikroTik CRS504-4XQ-Out, but that's not quite what I imagined. 😄 Also, it requires a breakout cable for 25GbE. #homelab #network #25gbit
*patiently waiting for the day you can get a passively cooled network switch with 25 Gbit*
#homelab #network #25gbit

I switched my router from a Ryzen 5 5600X to the Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GE!

Still plenty of performance to forward and serve at 25 Gbit/s, but consumes 14W less power and runs a couple degrees cooler :)

25 Gigabit Linux internet router PC build

init7 recently announced that with their FTTH fiber offering Fiber7, they will now sell and connect you with 25 Gbit/s (Fiber7-X2) or 10 Gbit/s (Fiber7-X) fiber optics, if you want more than 1 Gbit/s. While this offer will only become available at my location late this year (or possibly later due to the supply chain shortage), I already wanted to get the hardware on my end sorted out.

Traffic usage of the speedtest server I run for the fun of it has almost doubled to about 100TB per month!

My home network traffic pales in comparison at 0.5 to 5 TB per month, varying quite a bit.
