I purchased 2 of these. one to put in my desktop and the other to put in my truenas server. truenas core will not support this card. I had to update to truenas scale for it to recognize.

- 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.

I have had this switch now for a few weeks and I have been rather happy with it. To start off with, my initial impression was good. The switch has a metal casing that appears to be very durable. The build quality appears to be pretty good as well. I decided to put it through it's paces and give it a good testing on my network. I had 4 of my highest performance computers running on this switch, the machines being used heavily on the internet, for gaming, and for transferring files / data between each other. This little switch moved information between these computers just as fast as my larger unmanaged switches. Having added this between part of my network and 4 computers I did not see any performance decrease. The whole unit appears to be very stable. The unit is compact and does not get very warm during operation at all, even under heavy load from multiple machines. I am very happy with it. I would have no problem recommending this item for gamers who want to have a small LAN party or to someone who has a small home network and needs gigabit capabilities.
