Plug and play!

Basic plug and play Installed, updated new drivers and BAM. From 925 to 1307. Like right NOW. All test 5-7 in a row all consistent. File transfer just awesome. Not one complaint. Than You.

Fast as heck in team mode on Windows Server 2016

Inexpensive. Easy to install. Works perfectly.

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.

This was older sys and I needed NIC card but no PCI slots left.


I had a huge issue with my computer, it would stutter and jutter every now and then for no apparent reason, my FPS would fall(even on the Windows desktop), my download speed would become dreadful; as in I would be downloading at 500kb-1mb, as opposed to the usual 6-7mb which I was accustomed to. I began to think, maybe it's my on board NIC(Network Interface Card), as these problems would emerge usually while I was on the web, with any browser, Chrome, Edge, or Firefox; since I got the sneaking suspicion that my default NIC was bad I bought this. This has solved all of the above problems, not more stuttering, perfect flawless and consistent connection on any browser; it was such a good buy, at a great cost.




I plugged it in. It worked with existing cabling. I cant argue with that.
