This video is about how to setup 10 GbE network cards on unRAID Linux, Windows and OSX or Hackintosh. You will see a brief history of both gigabit and 10-gigabit ethernet and the two different types of 10gbe that are common today (SFP+ being the most common)
We will look at which hardware to buy that is cheap and which hardware is best to use for each operating system.
Of course, we do a few speed tests to see how fast 10 GbE is compared to regular gigabit ethernet.

Network cards used in this tutorial were

HP Mellanox connext 10 gbe SFP+ (great for windows and Linux)

Solarflare SFN5122F SFP+ (great for osx/Hackintosh, some Linux and windows) *****now also supported in unraid 6.4 rc15 as of 5 dec 2017*****

Edit - osx solarflare driver as of 2019 no is longer available on Solarflare's site. so here is a link to osx driver https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZenHMyJDwd4NgOHi3U21QLuUkOw3jM7z/view?usp=sharing
