The Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter is perfect for PCs with PCI Express slots, offering the newest technology for maximizing system performance and increasing end-user productivity. It uses auto-negotiation to ensure the adapter runs at the highest available network speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps), and maintains full bandwidth capacity with the dedicated bandwidth of a PCI Express input/output (I/O) bus to provide connectivity you can count on. Based on the low-power Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller, this desktop adapter offers optimal performance in a low-cost, low-power, compact profile. Teaming support and an array of other advanced features enable customers to utilize this adapter as an entry-level server adapter as well.
The Intel EXPI9301CTBLK features a fast Gigabit network interface for high-speed LAN connections at up to 1000Mbps data transfer rates.
The EXPI9301CTBLK allows you to take advantage of the dedicated I/O by combining Gigabit Ethernet with PCI Express to provide high-performance network connectivity for desktops with PCI Express slots.
The EXPI9301CTBLK is supported by Intel PROSet Utility for Microsoft Device Manager and Intel PRO intelligent install. Intel PROSet simplifies adapter installation and gives you point-and-click power for configuring and managing all of your Intel Network Connections.
Eggxpert Review
Pros: This is the standard gigabit NIC for desktops. Very low profile with PCI-E 1x connection and Intel drivers and chipset maintain a very solid connection. Price is so low this buy is a no-brainer
Cons: none
Overall Review: Though i have dual gigabit NICs on my asus mobo (one by nvidia and one by marvell), this stand-alone Intel NIC keeps a reliable and speedy connection. I moved away from embedded mobo NICs years ago and have never been disappointed with this Intel NIC
