I purchased 2 of these. one to put in my desktop and the other to put in my truenas server. truenas core will not support this card. I had to update to truenas scale for it to recognize.

Inexpensive, does the job, quick install detected by Win 7 which had the latest drivers.

Inexpensive. Easy to install. Works perfectly.

10gbps (well maybe ~5gbps depending on the setup)

Fast as heck in team mode on Windows Server 2016

I reviewed this once before and liked almost everything.


Easy installation. Had to download software, but no problem there. I really noticed a difference in the smoothness and speed of internet. I had never used an Nec , but I'm glad I did.

No issues, dead simple on CentOS 7

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.



Works with both PFSense and Proxmox without any special configurations.

- Highly compatible - Stable - Good packaging - Standard and low profile mounting brackets - Lifetime warranty
