With the development of Wi-Fi 6, the network infrastructure smoothly masters multi-gigabit connections at 2.5 G and 5G speeds. Among the network controllers that support intermediate speeds, the undisputed leader is considered to be the AQuantia controllers, which, in a variation from Zyxel, we will compare with the good old Intel. But I did not immediately see the prospects of multi-gigabit network connections. Of course, if you look from the point of view of the data center and storage, ...

First dual-controller storage from Synology, marketed as iSCSI storage for virtualization hosts. We will test how quickly it switches between controllers and how it recovers back.
