Comment on First Real Self Host Setup question
pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 11 months ago10g is of course only useful when all your devices have 10g ports. I have 2x 10g NICs in my server and a TP-Link switch that has 8x 1g ports and 2x 10g ports, the only time I would use 10g is between my server and my desktop, and that of course cost me like $100 just for the 10g NIC for my desktop. 10g isn’t really that useful in a home network since most things are limited to 1g. I still can’t believe that my $2700 flat screen from 2017 only has a 10/100 port on it…

Ahhh well then I should be good on 1g. Thanks for saving me some bucks though :)

No problem! 10g sounds great in theory and then you realize that 99% of your connected devices are limited to 1g and there’s nothing you can do about it.
