Two 10GbE ports, one PCIe slot, one proven controller. The GLOTRENDS ST7286 pairs the battle-tested Mellanox ConnectX-3 (MCX312A-XCBT) with dual SFP+ ports the cost-effective way to separate storage and LAN traffic, or bond both ports for 20G aggregate. Each port auto-negotiates 10G or 1G and works with DAC cables, AOCs or optical transceivers. The PCIe 3.0 x8 interface is backward compatible with older slots. Hardware offloads for TCP/IP, checksum and segmentation keep both ports at line rate without burdening the CPU exactly what a NAS or media server needs when ten users are pulling files at once. Built for: dual-purpose NAS builds (TrueNAS, Unraid), Proxmox and ESXi hosts isolating VM traffic, pfSense/OPNsense routers with WAN + LAN on one card, and small business servers that need redundant uplinks. RoCE RDMA support cuts latency for iSCSI and NFS workloads, while SR-IOV/VMDq lets dozens of VMs share the card with near-native performance. Specifications: 2x SFP+ (10GbE/1GbE) | PCIe 3.0 x8 | RoCE v1 RDMA | SR-IOV/VMDq | DCB, jumbo frames | PXE boot | Aluminum heat sink, low-profile + full-height brackets included. Drivers: Windows 10/11, Windows Server, RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu/Debian, VMware ESXi via WinOF-2/MLNX_OFED mature, stable, extensively documented.
