Which 10G NIC is supported by opene?

Based on what has been recommended i could run a a direct cable between these 2 SANs on a 10G port for replication purpose.

ISCSI is done through 1G connection to a gigabit switch.

What do you guys think about the choice of the raid card? How often it failed?

Please find the following links that can show you the supported 10G NIC cards and RAID cards too:

And just as a reminder, if you used a 10Gb NIC card with a 1Gb switch, then it will work as a 1Gb not a 10Gb.

About how often the RAID Card failed, well that depend on a lot of things, that no one can be sure. Always try to check that there is no more or less power came to the system, that will give your hardware in general a longer life.
