Hey all!
I have been a long time watcher of L1T videos on Youtube. I was pleasantly surprised to run into Wendell at GTC this year (I work for team green), and we had a brief chat about all kinds of enterprise hardware. I posed a question to him, and he had an answer, but since it was so busy that day, I forgot what he said!
In short, I have a high spec Lenovo p350 tiny workstation with the Nvidia card. I am attaching it permanently to a telescope array I am building in my back yard. The telescopes, when fully running, can create a ton of data, Gbs+ per night.
The P350 has gigabit networking, but I was interested in routes to getting 10gig on it. I have a Ubiqiti 10gig switch and a Synology NAS with 10gig.
Wendell said there was a little part you could plug in (from Aliexpress?) into the P350 to give it 10gig.
What I don’t want to do is:
- Give up the GPU (I might even bump it to the new 4000 SFF if it will fit), because some of the astronomy work is GPU accelerated.
- Give up the second SSD on the p350, because I want a fast disk to write from the cameras to.
What I am hoping is that there is a magical place to fit a 10 gig something on there. I think that is what Wendell said. I also seem to remember finding someone on Reddit who did it, but they deleted their post for some reason. Why do people do that?
I know that 10 gig is not fully needed here, but most of what we do in the IT enthusiast community is hot rodding 
Any ideas or advice?
