BEST SELLERS

In Network Interface Cards

- Just plug and play in Windows 11 Pro. - I received 2 Card TX401, and both work like a charm. - Big upgrade on my local network, on a 10 G Switch. - Again, rock solid, good heat sink size, should be reliable for years... - It's Rj-45 , so no need to upgrade for fiber... for now. - Never had a problem with TP-Link to be honest.

Easy installation with Windows 10 Fast internet/network speeds

No problems

I ordered this card for my supermicro server running PVE v7.1. I did setup SR-IOV PCIE passthrough, and it is blazingly fast!

it works with Windows 10, it won't be the bottleneck at either the bus or the switch, so you can focus on troubleshooting other things, it's tiny yet solid and fits in a very tight x1 slot.

AWesome card

Windows 10 Pro support VLANS Jumbo Frames More ports than i could ever use.

There are no real gotcha's with this card. It installs as easily as any other PCIe card. It is compatible with NAS4Free and I will be testing it with VMWare's ESXi also.

Works surprisingly well with good throughput. Doesn't get hot like others I have had.

Works with both PFSense and Proxmox without any special configurations.

The obvious question is why one would purchase this card over the far cheaper options. Generic 1Gbps NICs can be had for just over a tenth the cost, while Intel's desktop varieties run less than half the price of this card. Leaving aside the cheapest cards - ones I've found to cause more problems with data corruption and reliability than it's worth - the main reason to go with a server card is if you will be loading it heavily. If you're running your own datacenter, power-saving features such as EEE and DMA coalescing are handy, but that likely doesn't apply to most potential customers for this NIC. The I210T1 does an even better job at offloading calculations than previous generation NICs.Saturate a full 1Gbps connection with multiple streams and you'll see CPU usage drop in comparison to what it is with desktop cards. We put this card in a workstation to replace the on-board Realtek NIC. System CPU time dropped by 20-30% under very heavy network loads after switching to the I210T1. Another benefit to the I210T1 - and a possible reason to upgrade to this new model - is Audio Video Bridging (AVB) support. When working on projects where multiple media streams need to be perfectly synchronized, AVB worked wonders. Older NICs simply could not keep everything synced perfectly. We needed to work on 10Gbps connections instead. Being able to accomplish the same feat with a much cheaper card is great! The I210T1 is tiny. It fits easily even in systems with bulging heatsinks and video cards.

Extremely pleased with these, but I did my homework before purchasing. They compose a VMware vSphere 5 storage network. 2x Dell 8024F switches 5x Dell R710s with one of these cards in each server (ESXi 5 hosts) 1x Dell c2100 Server running NFS off of Nexenta CE 3.1.3 with 2 of these cards in it (one PCI based as sold here and another that is a mezzanine card) for an aggregate 40Gbps throughput to/from the SAN. tons of Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU3M/SFP-H10GB-CU1M cables used for connectivity. These were chosen for compatibility/reliability as we planned to build our own SAN solution after pricing every storage vendor we could fathom. We ended up spending a fraction of the quotes we were offered and got more for our $. Shipping as always was remarkably fast w/ NewEgg.

No issues, dead simple on CentOS 7
