Fast as heck in team mode on Windows Server 2016

Easy install. It does what it says it will do.

No issues, dead simple on CentOS 7

- Works out of the box with Ubuntu Linux without any additional work needed. (They use the built-in Aquantia driver) - I have two Ubuntu boxes directly attached using these NICs, and am getting 10gig connectivity.

Plugged into older Alienware R7 that only had gigabit on-board, just worked and at full speed.

- Just plug and play in Windows 11 Pro. - I received 2 Card TX401, and both work like a charm. - Big upgrade on my local network, on a 10 G Switch. - Again, rock solid, good heat sink size, should be reliable for years... - It's Rj-45 , so no need to upgrade for fiber... for now. - Never had a problem with TP-Link to be honest.

The obvious question is why one would purchase this card over the far cheaper options. Generic 1Gbps NICs can be had for just over a tenth the cost, while Intel's desktop varieties run less than half the price of this card. Leaving aside the cheapest cards - ones I've found to cause more problems with data corruption and reliability than it's worth - the main reason to go with a server card is if you will be loading it heavily. If you're running your own datacenter, power-saving features such as EEE and DMA coalescing are handy, but that likely doesn't apply to most potential customers for this NIC. The I210T1 does an even better job at offloading calculations than previous generation NICs.Saturate a full 1Gbps connection with multiple streams and you'll see CPU usage drop in comparison to what it is with desktop cards. We put this card in a workstation to replace the on-board Realtek NIC. System CPU time dropped by 20-30% under very heavy network loads after switching to the I210T1. Another benefit to the I210T1 - and a possible reason to upgrade to this new model - is Audio Video Bridging (AVB) support. When working on projects where multiple media streams need to be perfectly synchronized, AVB worked wonders. Older NICs simply could not keep everything synced perfectly. We needed to work on 10Gbps connections instead. Being able to accomplish the same feat with a much cheaper card is great! The I210T1 is tiny. It fits easily even in systems with bulging heatsinks and video cards.

Superfast, well packaged, comes with both standard and low-profile brackets.

This appeared in Windows 8.1/10 to be identical to the one on my motherboard

Easy installation. Had to download software, but no problem there. I really noticed a difference in the smoothness and speed of internet. I had never used an Nec , but I'm glad I did.

Dual port Virtual NIC technology for hypervisors like VMWare Fast Excellent drivers Excellent support

Easy install. Nice price. I really love this Network card. It arrived on time in Manufacturers Box with the low profile bracket attached. Because of my computer case had to take out the 2 screws and install the standard profile bracket which was included. Also included was a driver CD and manual. .

OOtB experience is it just works with generic SFPs Great price for a 10G-capable adapter Recognized without intervention in Proxmox 9 Easy to vendor-unlock via Linux OS Low-height heatsink does not obstruct adjacent slot
