As my storage needs grow, so too does the need for speed. And thanks to MikroTik, I'm well equipped to give my home network a substantial boost. In this video I install two 100gb MiktroTik switches, run all new fiber lines, and ensure my new network cards can handle the torrential flood of bits. My server rack has never been faster, and it's going to speed up all my services, even cloud gaming. But first... What am I drinking?! Well to kick things off, I got me a can of Pub Beer from 10 Barrel Brewing. But as weeks turned to months, this shoot wrapped in the midst of Mixology March. So I crack me an egg and enjoy a cocktail I've never tried: An Ace. A delightfully creamy and playful potion which will satisfy your holiday hankerings quite nicely. *Links to items below may be affiliate links for which I may be compensated* Check out today's parts: Mikrotik CRS504-4XQ-IN 4-port QSFP28 Switch - https://amzn.to/3JPX4mW Intel 100GBASE-CWDM4 QSFP28 SMF Transceiver - https://ebay.us/ZIFi5q LC to LC Single Mode Fiber Patch Cable - https://amzn.to/3yPPVN3 100G QSFP28 to 4x 25G SFP28 Passive DAC: https://amzn.to/3ZZpMas Mellanox ConnectX-4 PCIe 3.0 x16 QSFP28 NIC - https://ebay.us/T7XqXa Mikrotik CRS317-1G-16S+ on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3p5k5Gp Mikrotik Desktop 5-port 10Gb Switch - https://amzn.to/2TvVezP Mikrotik CRS328-24P-4S+ 24-Port PoE + 10Gb Switch - https://amzn.to/3fHpGjf Ubiquiti UniFi UDM-Pro Router/Firewall - https://amzn.to/3fA3Spm T568B Cheat Sheet T-Shirt available here: https://vkc.sh/product-tag/t568b-cheat-sheet/ Grab yourself a Pint Glass or Hoodie at https://craftcomputing.store Follow me on Mastodon @Craftcomputing@hostux.social Support me on Patreon and get access to my exclusive Discord server.
