Which NICs support RDMA (for R730)?
I am thinking about building a Storage Spaces Direct solution and understand that this works best with 10G RDMA capable NICs, but I am having a difficult time figuring out which NICs support it.
Going with S2D is probably a bit overkill in the first place, so I am looking for the least costly options.

Thank you.
What do you mean "validated"?

Validated means that we have tested it and it is a supported card.
The following page states that RDMA is not supported on the X540-T2 nic...

Hi,
Dell's X540 network card would be able to support RDMA, https://dell.to/3c2lqWy
Though, I'm unfamiliar with Precision T3500 if there is any network cards available. X540 would not be compatible with T3500.
For T3500, I'll will have to move your post to the Precision support for them to further support your enquiry.

The link I previously supplied indicates that the X540 does not support RDMA.
Based on your site(https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000031905/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products.html), only the following nics support RDMA:
- Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter X722-DA2
- Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter X722-DA4

Hi,
Based on the link I provided, https://dell.to/3c2lqWy it's Dell's proprietary firmware on X540.
As mentioned, you were looking for a network card for your T3500?

Hi,
The 10Gb NDC that are validated with the R730 are Broadcom 57800 SFP+, Broadcom 57800 Base-T, Intel X540 Base-T, which all support RDMA. The mellanox ConnectX-3 pcie NIC also supports it.
edit: the Broadcom NICs do not support RDMA
