Flawless performance. I'm using it as a 4 Gbps trunk for iSCSI. The Intel drivers and software work great and are very intuitive. iSCSI boot...priceless. Overall a top quality product

I have a Lenovo laptop purchased several years ago that has a poor wifi plus the built in ethernet is only 100mbps which I found was pretty standard with regular laptops unless you're willing to spend for a high end one. My internet provider gives me 600mb/s but I was only getting about 50mb/s with the built in ethernet and even less with the wifi. I purchased this adapter and right away I'm getting close to 400mb/s when plugged in directly to my router! This adapter is the solution I've been trying to find. Pros: -This was simple to set up on my Windows 10 laptop. -It was working right out of the box and I've had no issues with it. -Great price

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.

Working flawless. Used it to connect an Ethernet thermal camera and worked without a hitch. Windows 8 even installed the driver automatically via windows update.

I needed this nic to replace on built on the motherboard that got trashed by lightning and because of the low profile bracket. Installed the card, installed the drivers from the cd provided. All worked well.

easy plug and play install did improve net speed.

Works. Dual NIC.

I run this weeks on end sharing AntiX linux vis Torrents.
