Rosewill RC-NIC413 allows you to add 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports to a client, server or workstation through a single PCI Express slot. It is fully compliant with Microsoft NDIS5, NDIS6 (IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP) Checksum and Segmentation Task-offload (Large-send and Giant -send) features. You'll also get support for IEEE 802 Layer 2 priority encoding and IEEE 802.1Q Virtual bridged Local Area Network (VLAN) to lower CPU utilization, radically enhancing performance on your network server.
With 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, the Rosewill RC-NIC413 greatly expands your network capacity, enabling instant, large file transfers. At home, the office, or on your business trip, you can work at Gigabit Ethernet speeds and instantly share your files online.
Each port provides 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3/u/ab standards. Suitable for any standard PCI Express-enabled system, the 2-port Ethernet card supports full-duplex flow control for maximum data transfer speeds of up to 2,000 Mbps.
Pros: + The construction quality is good. + Four RJ45 ports + PCI Express opposed to standard PCI + Black and not green or red. + No additional software is needed to utilise it(other than drivers if using Windows). We purchased this card to go along with our Core i3 2100 system we had assembled for pfSense but had noticed we hadn't had enough PCI slots on our Asus P8H61-M to accommodate for the connections. All of the NICs we had were 10/100 PCI cards from the mid 2000s. Suffice to say this card was perfect for the job, and still handles the job very well to this day.
Cons: - The card we had received had scratches and dings on it out of the box.
Overall Review: It works and it doesn't cost an absurd amount like most others. Do note however it uses Realtek RTL8111G chips opposed to Intel. If your software configuration has problems with Realtek devices you may need to find something else.
