Pros

This review is for the 10gtek x550-t2 (pcie 3. This card has the intel x550 chipset. Set this card to 5 gigabit in the advanced driver setting. Great duel sfp+ for 10g fiber or 10g twisted pair. Works with 10g spf+ and is also backwards compatible wit... Read More

I have a 6 gigabit symmetrical internet connection and the nic was able to utilize the full bandwidth successfully. I now test by performing long running ssd to ssd tests through a netgear 10gbps router. Data was sent from client to server, data size ... Read More

This card works in both, drop in and go. Will be upgrading four more with this card.

Works flawless on my ds1621+. Also tested with a windows 10 machine without issue. Also duel boot with windows 10). In windows, its great. In linux, its great. Lt. Desktop.

Cons

The performance is very poor as compared to my previous 10g aquantia nic card. It was never recognized in my server nor in my windows 10 desktop. Will be returning and avoiding 10gtek in the future.

Quality

Quality part, easy install, works as advertised!

The build quality of this network card is on par with what i expected, providing a solid and functional product.

Buzz whine buzzing whining loud noise sound vibrating vibrate vibration

After powering on the system, i install the drivers through the cd since i didn't have an active internet connection on the pc at the time.

Price

Great value for the price on a budget.

Additionally, the value for the money is exceptional.

For $190 total i am flying at 10gb.

The price is still a little high on used cards so might as well buy these new cards from amazon in case you need to return it.

Shipping

The 16x slot for cpu1 requires a riser card that didn't ship with the server.

Connections were quick and the windows os picked it up.

Packaging/appearance

The packaging was fantastic, and the install was as simple as expected.

The cards came in packed pretty well.

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
