I am building my personal private cloud. I am considering using second hand dell optiplexes as worker nodes, but they only have 1 NIC and I’d need a contraption like this for my redundant network.

Then this wish came to my mind. Theoretically, such a one box solution could be faster than gigabit too.

    I have been trying to do bonds with USB adapters and while it usually seems to work fine at first, they just seem to randomly drop out when run 24/7 so I stopped doing that. In theory it seems like a good idea though.

      I just have that happen in general with USB NICs. Random drops for seemingly no reason.

      They’re not meant for infrastructural use, just as travel adapters.
