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.

Plugged this in and it was recognized right away by windows with some default drivers (Windows 7 x64). Did not need to install the supplied drivers for it to work.

AWesome card

Worked as it does out of the box Money well spent, I have a 6 year old ASUS M4A78TD/USB3 AMD 870 motherboard with a dying Ethernet Controller. So got it this morning installed it and now that I have this it is the best I have used. I would never use onboard again!

- Works in Linux - Plug and play - Low-profile bracket - Gigabit

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

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.

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.

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.

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

In contrast to other reviews I figured I had to add that this adapter does work well with Copper Twinaxial cables, Cisco included. I have one of these adapters in a storage server I built using iSCSI as the protocol. This adapter hooked up seamlessly with a Cisco Twinaxial cable to a Cisco 2960-S (certain models of the 2960-S have 2x 10-Gigabit SFP+ modules.) that particular server now acts as a SAN in my network, jumbo frames fully supported and doesn't show the slightest sign of slowing. The Cisco Twinaxial cable combined with this adapter gives the benefit of significantly lower latency than its Cat-6 ethernet relative and provides outstanding results in my setup.

Works with both PFSense and Proxmox without any special configurations.
