Outstanding 32G FC HBA — refurb but feels like new

Needed a dual port 32G Fibre Channel HBA for a new SAN host and the refurb QLE2742 from Resilient Tec was the perfect fit. Card installed cleanly in our UCS C220 M5 and was recognized by CIMC and ESXi without any driver issues. Link came up at 32Gbps on both ports. For $890 vs $2000+ for new this is incredible value.

Thank you Ingrid! 32Gbps on both ports right out of the box is exactly what we test for. The savings versus new on FC HBAs are substantial. Really appreciate the detailed review!
