Quality


The card seems to be made very well, and the speed is great.


I'm pleased with the quality, it's performance and above all the speed it produced especially since it has two ports.


Compatibility issues were a major concern for me, considering the age of my hardware, but this card dispelled all my worries.


The card was recognized as soon as the machine powered up and went through it's cycle.

Price


This card is an inexpensive way to set up a 10g network, although you still need to get the appropriate sfp modules to connecte...  Read More


The price of 160 bucks for the 10g version is really great value for the money.


Also it was cheap enough that i wouldn't feel too bad if it didn't work.


You can get a decent one for a low price on amazon.

Shipping


This arrived on time and as described.

Packaging/appearance


Ran it with securityonion and it was a great packet collector.


It came in a thin box with plastic clamshell.

Competitiveness


The card’s ability to negotiate with my 10gig sfp+ zyxel switch was another pleasant surprise.


Intel chipset makes it compatible with a lot of os's, including freebsd.


The card doesn't have any intel branding on it, but it appears very similar to original intel cards.


One difference i did notice is that the sfp cans are only soldered at a couple points, but on a intel card every point is soldered.

    Ran on win7 win10 win11 alma linux and a flavor of centos linux


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Hard to send something at a true 10gbps because of bottlenecks at bus and storage at both ends of such a connection but in between servers i clocked it as moving well above 5gbps and im sure the 10 is theoretically attainable
