Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought this for my pfsense router running a version of linux. Placing it in was no issue. Came with long bracket attached, had to attach short bracket which was included in the box.
The 5 gig att fiber plan is capped at 4. Gbps. The nic was able to utilize the full bandwidth successfully. The switch port is set to auto-dac.
This card has the intel x550 chipset. Set this card to 5 gigabit in the advanced driver setting.
Cons
It was never recognized in my server nor in my windows 10 desktop. The cards get disabled due to overheating. Will be returning and avoiding 10gtek in the future.

Connections were quick and the windows os picked it up.
Packaging/appearance
The cards came in packed pretty well.
Came with a driver cd so i was a bit worried at first but truenas scale recognized it right away with no configuration needed.
Competitiveness
Realtech chips appeared to break the bios startup, but these intel chips appear to solve the problem.
I'm showing nearly identical speeds and latency compared to intel branded cards.
Some key things to note:1) this does work with windows 11 (22h2)2) it does come with both a low-profile and full-length pci ada... Read More
I'm sure it will work fine for most generic uses but i probably wouldn't use it in a dell/hpe/cisco brand server as they may no... Read More

I didnt remove stars as this would be unfair to the manufacturer as they didnt know and even recommended trying it and returning it if it wasnt supported

So i hope this review helps someone in search of a solution for the x73 series of nas

This is a 10gtek card using an intel chip
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The only word of caution and this is across multiple brands of cards is that the 10gb sfp cards do not like windows sleep mode
