Blazing Fast Download Speeds with my on board port I was maxing at 20-25Mb/s with this I'm getting the full scope of my ISP

I was instantly able to take advantage of my new 2000mbps internet service.

Simple to install, no CD to throw away, no bloatware, and yet the drivers are packed with loads of great features for hardcore techies and tweakers, all while working perfectly fine out of the box on default settings.

Plugged into older Alienware R7 that only had gigabit on-board, just worked and at full speed.

This is the second one that I have purchased, for another pc in my family. Works great. Love the fact that it came with a low profile bracket, though it was not mentioned in the specs.

Needed to replace the onboard network adapter. This adapter was easy to install and setup. Working great and was a great value.

I had no issue getting 10g speed with my ASUS 10G switch and CAT 6a cable. It is great getting 500+ mbs copying files from one computer to another.


So I got into building a plex server and Ripping blu ray, using handbrake then putting them on my NAS plex server was slow on 1GBe networking (reltak is garbage if uou are transfering large files), so I decided to go 10Gbe and of course needed NICs to match. CLOUD had the cards that are intel and was plug and play into my Trunas system. On my Ripping computer just need to download the windows drives, easy.

Doubled my download speed in an inexpensive and easy to install card.

Fast as heck in team mode on Windows Server 2016

Working like a champ in my vSphere 5.5 home lab. Pushing max theoretical 10G throughput (roughly 9.7Gbps) using iperf VM to VM on different hypervisor hosts hooked to a HP procurve 2910al w/ 2 J9008 dual port 10G SFP+ modules. I used a direct attached copper (DAC)/twinax cables I got off the infamous bidding site we all know and love for about 1/3 of the price of typical 3m twinax cables and they were HP branded/part numbered as well.


Superfast, well packaged, comes with both standard and low-profile brackets.


Quality product

Lower cost than others of its kind. It's significantly smaller than I was expecting, and the heat sink covers every bit of usable space for exceptional cooling.


easy plug and play install did improve net speed.

This is definitely the perfect adapter for those looking for: 1. Rock solid reliability 2. Advanced server features such as the ability to team 3. Low system resource use I have this adapter installed into a small specific use server, that controls a Ubiquiti WiFi network and PoE camera system (the server is the Zone Controller and runs the AirOS software). The Intel adapter is capable of handling the incoming and outgoing traffic without skipping a beat and putting a minimal burden on the host CPU which was the idea. Further pros: 1. Comes with full sized PCI and low height brackets and the brackets are perforated for ventilation 2. Works in any PCI-E slot size 3. Driver set is easy to use and configure--many detailed explanations of the settings are found inside the driver set itself as well as a full blown manual that may also be downloaded
