<p class="MsoNormal">1G Ether is so cheap, but not as fast as
desired. 10G ether is fast enough, but it’s overkill and why is it so
bloody expensive? Why is there nothing in between? Is there something
in between? Is there a better option? I mean … sata is cheap, and
it’s 3g or 6g, but it’s not suitable for this purpose. But the point
remains, there isn’t a fundamental limitation that *<b>requires</b>*
10G to be expensive, or *<b>requires</b>* a leap directly from 1G to
10G. I would very much like to find a solution which is a good fit… to
attach ZFS storage to vmware.<o:p></o:p></p>
