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.

- Comes with a low-profile bracket - Just Works™ in a Linux machine. No non-standard drivers or special configuration needed.

-Works without dropping connection (unlike like my onboard intel wired network adapter). -Price.

- Intel card works with every device NIC I have with no issues - Worked at 1, 2.5 and 10GB for me with no issues - two ports - Can team depending on the OS

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.

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.


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.

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


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

Works. Dual NIC.




Works with both PFSense and Proxmox without any special configurations.


Has full and half height bracket Card is super fast Very stable
