Most Favorable Review

Great card, no low-profile bracket

Intel EXPI9400PT Gigabit Copper Connection for Servers 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45
Intel EXPI9400PT Gigabit Copper Connection for Servers 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45

Pros: Low profile compatibility More stable than the onboard NIC, at least with OpenBSD/Opnsense

Cons: Does not come with the low-profile bracket.

Overall Review: This is a good card and works fine. However, be aware that even though they say the card is low profile compatible, the card does not come with the low profile bracket. Upon contacting the seller, this is the response: Thanks for contacting us regarding this NIC. Sorry for any confusion, the description explaining low-profile compatibility is describing the half-sized form factor of the card. Unfortunately we don't have a low-profile adapter kit available to ship out. I will add that they were willing to accept the card as a return even though there is technically nothing wrong with the card, so props to the seller for this. I was also able to find the bracket on elsewhere for 99 cents with free shipping (Item 172316159272 at the online auction house that begins with e and ends with bay), but YMMV. If that link does not work, searching said online auction site (NewEgg does now allow for the name to be in the reviews) for "low-profile bracket EXPI9400PT" should return a few different results, ranging from 99 cents to one dollar, and free shipping to six dollars.
