Since CO2 is heavier than air, a sensor would be more vital in low areas such as basements.

I like related IT or computer nerd memes posted on Youtube occasionally, not like daily, more like once in a couple weeks.

2.5Gb is becoming a buzz because it's becoming the standard on consumer motherboards

[DieMiinz]

As someone who is running a 2.5gb Realtek* card in pfSense, there were two main reasons I went with that card. The first was because I was able to get 4 ports for $100. I had seen plenty of similarly priced 10gb NICs, but they only had one or two ports. The second was that my network comes nowhere close to 10gb, anywhere. The fastest thing on it is my desktop, which also has 2.5gb. I would have needed another entire set of NICs to take advantage of 10gb.

*I will admit that if I had done more research beforehand, I would have gone with something not made by Realtek, and then the pricing may not have been attractive enough to pull me towards 2.5gb. I didn't even think about the possibility of driver issues until pfSense couldn't find my NIC.

haha indeed, those old Intel CPUs look like garbage against recent AMD CPUs (that's why all our prod is running EPYCs CPU).
Perf per core is truly changing everything for storage: since for one disk, the usual bottleneck is tapdisk (one process per disk), higher the clock AND the CPU efficiency, better/faster the storage is! In short, more room to "breath" and get more IOPS per disk.

The overall result won't change however: if you have enough virtual disks, you'll reach a point where you'll move the bottleneck on the NAS side (or the network) because you'll multiply the IOPS per disk until reaching a maximum elsewhere. But yeah, the diff for ONE disk is tremendous!
