      I just got hold of an ATTO FF-NS12 card in a bundle with other hardware for a good deal. It's a 10 gig card with dual SFP ports. I notice that the date on the card is 2010 so possibly a bit dated. If it's worth using, I'll plan to swap it into my pfSense box down the road. Does anyone have experience with these cards?

        I can't find much about that card. I see one thing saying it's built on 'Intel silicon' so it may just work.

        I agree 2010 is old for a 10G NIC. I'd expect it to be pretty power hungry.

          @stephenw10 Thanks for the info. I only have a low profile expansion slot available on my pfSense box. I found a low profile bracket on the popular online auction site and got it for a few bucks, then I can try it once it comes in the mail. FWIW Amazon lists it as a currently available product priced at $676 (!) so there might be support for it.
