can the ds923+ saturate 10gbe for a home lab? i set out to measure it.
before you start
shut the co2 valve and bleed the line before removing anything - the socket is under pressure.

excellent for a 4-bay home lab
best for: 10gbe-curious home labs that value quiet + low watts

after three months it's the quietest box in my rack.
