10Gtek for Intel 82580 Chip 1.25G Gigabit Ethernet Converged Network Adapter (NIC), Quad Copper RJ45 Ports, PCI Express 2.0 X4, Same as I340-T4/ E1G44HT

When building a Linux system the last thing you want to deal with is weird drivers. So I always look for Intel or Broadcom chipsets in ethernet cards. Intel chipsets in particular are pretty much guaranteed to work. Most of the servers I build have Intel I350 ethernet cards for a reason. They're fast, reliable, and use the rock-solid "igb" driver that you can be absolutely certain will be included in the stock kernel from any Linux distribution The I350 controller chip has been in production since 2011 and Intel plans to manufacture it through 2031. It's fast, reliable, inexpensive, and uses only 2.8W of power. Those features, combined with the high availability of the chip has made it ubiquitous on server motherboards. As a result it's extremely well supported by any operating system you might want to use. Thie PCI interface on the card identifies itself as being built by Beijing Sinead Technology Co. The ethernet MAC address has the correct prefix (98:b7:85) for Shenzhen 10Gtek Transceivers, which matches the name of the seller on Amazon. That's always a good sign; they're using properly assigned MAC addresses rather than just cloning some other card. The card appears to be identical to the I350 cards sold by Intel. The only difference is the price, which is less than half what Intel charges. I'll probably buy more of these in the future. Great pricing and like the other 10Gtek products I've purchased in the past it's a solid product.

Simple à implémenter et efficace.

I purchased this for use with my new gigabit installation at my house. Slapped it into my pfsense box and I'm getting a very nice 950mbps down and 95mbps up WAN>LAN with no problems and noticable increase in CPU usage as a result of the NIC. Very nice. +1 for the inclusion of a low profile bracket.

La tarjeta funciona genial y agrega puertos sin problemas formando un canal de 2 gbps (conectado directamente a mi router Netgear Nighthawk X10 R9000, en los puertos que 1 y 2 que son los que soportan agregación de enlace, con la agregación de enlaces configurado como dimámico LACP 802.3ad. El CD que traía con drivers no se podía leer bien pero de todas formas están anticuados. En la página de Intel me bajé los drivers actualizados para Windows 7: PROWinx64Legacy y todo genial

Had al meerdere intel clones geprobeerd in mijn pfsense router maar ze bleven maar problemen geven. Beetje sceptisch deze besteld en na installatie geen uitval gehad. Dus perfecte kaart.
