Would it not make sense to put the k8s network on 2.5gbe and give the three nodes a usb4 connection to a storage NAS instead? Assuming you can find a nas with 3x usb4 I suppose

A NAS typically doesn’t use or support connecting to a PC over USB, that would be DAS(direct attached storage), but even then they don’t support connecting to multiple PCs simultaneously.

  • The PCs in the article are connected to multiple other devices each so seems possible at least in principle.

    I don’t see why the same wouldn’t be possible for a NAS. Stuff like truenas can serve across multiple interfaces

  • Assuming the NAS can do the same networking over USB4 that the author used it could work.
