Pros & Cons
Pros
The card comes with standard pci backplate, but also an extra backplate for micro-towers. Works perfectly in opnsense and untangle. Made use of it for an untangle firewall and vmware esxi.
This card is more expensive than many other dual port cards you see out there. Works with windows 10/server 2019/hyper-v. Will use the same slot when/if dual port 2. Sg-300 switch is used. Works as two single or one teamed nic.
For the techies, keep reading. No encountered issues, a great product. No complaint.
Great performance (full 2gb in a bonded configuration)great product.
Cons
Not even the same part numbers or anything. Replaced it with another card (different brand/chipset) and the errors are now gone. Into the garbage this goes.
Highlights
Quality
Quality seemed great, and it was packaged professionally.
Great performance (full 2gb in a bonded configuration)great product.
I was having issues with the realtek nic in my pfsense router.
Shipping
And oh, seller was fast shipping the card, and shipping was free, so this makes it an even better choice.
Packaging/appearance
I bought 2 of these for my router and they came in great packaging and all 4 ports get fine throughput!
Competitiveness
I have purchased a boatload of these cards for my pfsense router builds.
I bought in order to provide multiple lan ports for my pfsense firewall.
While this is an off-brand card, it does have an intel chipset.
It's not a genuine intel card, but it works with pfsense without any issues.
