      I can't speak for Netgate directly on this, I wasn't involved in that decision.

      Personally I prefer Intel because you're not paying for features that pfSense can't use. Both in money and power consumption/heat. In FreeNAS that's different. I imagine they might well use the TCP offloading the Chelsio NICs offer. Though I've never looked into it.

      More cooling never hurts!

      I think I will get a SFP to ethernet media converter.

      Try these. I can't test them against hardware but they load fine in 2.5.2:

      Remove the .txt extension.
