It's great to see more options for high-speed Ethernet on the market. I was wondering if you've noticed any significant differences in performance or stability between the different Mellanox ConnectX models (ConnectX-4, -5, -6) when used with this card? Also, have you encountered any compatibility issues with specific macOS versions or setups?
