Do the windows config tweak herein. - Many people have complained about this card. However, it's absolutely a windows bug that will lock the whole operating system, needing a cold-start. This card is brilliant, and performs really well. The issue is dual disk-cache deadlock if you want to look it up. It's been waiting to bite for 25 years, once nvme cards were invented and coupled to fast NICs like this one. It's very easy to fix... NVMe drive have an onboard DRAM disk cache, so windows operating-system level caching will conflict, and also degrade general write performance quite noticeably, and cause your operating system to completely lock when writing data to disk copied over the NIC, where the data rate exceeds the random write speed. The on-board DRAM is big (over 1GB), and many times faster that windows disk caching, so you really don't need the windows stuff slowing it down. Find your storage device in Windows Device Manager, open Properties, under Write-Caching-policy, disable write-caching-on-this-device. Reboot. TCP flow control will now work correctly, and while the write speed may drop to zero, that's fine and intended - you're just exceeding the random write speed of your storage device when that happens. It's also better to use the "Marvell AQution 10Gbit Network Adapter" drivers directly from the Marvell website rather than the TP-LINK ones. While the same driver is installed, there is extra stuff bundled with the TP-LINK drivers you don't need. After 30 years working in IT, I've not seen a better value or more reliable 10G card in this price bracket. Highly recommended if you do the above. Review: Plug and play no messing about with settings. - Fantastic buy at knock down price. I bought this as just moved to FTTP at 900mbps speed. Fitted it to my SFF pc and tested the speed compared to me previous on board Ethernet this delivered more than 250mbps more speed than previous and knocks out a whooping 630mbps using Ookla speed test. Really pleased with and highly recommended. Easy to setup as plug and play, downloads updates at lightning speed functionality is good no update drivers necessary with windows 11. ## Features - 10 Gbps Networking - Combined with the latest 10GBase-T Technology, TX401 delivers extreme speeds of up to 10 Gbps, which is 10Γ— faster than typical Gigabit adapters, guaranteeing smooth data transmissions for both internet access and local data transmissions - Versatile Compatibility - With extreme speed and ultra-low latency, 10GBase-T is backwards compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, automatically negotiating between higher and lower speed connections - CAT6A Ethernet Cable - To maximize TX401's performance, a 1.5 m CAT6A Ethernet Cable is includedβ€”rated for up to 10 Gbps while a regular cable is only rated for 1 Gbps - Low-Profile and Full-Height Brackets - In addition to the standard bracket, a low-profile bracket is provided for mini tower computer cases. Customized options give you the flexibility to find a bracket that perfectly fits your board design - Comprehensive System Support - Fully compatible with Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Windows Servers 2019/2016/2012 R2, and Linux to meet your diverse operating system needs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08DVGMKWP | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,750 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 3 in Network Cards | | Box Contents | 1.5 m CAT6A Ethernet Cable, 10 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter (TX401), Quick Installation Guide, Resource CD, Standard/Low-Profile Brackets | | Brand | TP-Link | | Brand Name | TP-Link | | Color | Red | | Colour | Red | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Server | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Compatible devices | Desktop, Server | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 10,702 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet | | Data Transfer Rate | 10 Gigabits Per Second | | Data link protocol | Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet, PCI | | Hardware interface | Ethernet , PCI | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12.1L x 9.8W x 2.2H centimetres | | Manufacturer | TP-Link | | Manufacturer Part Number | TX401 | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 7 | | Model Number | TX401 | | Product Warranty | 3 year manufacturer | | Product dimensions | 12.1L x 9.8W x 2.2H centimetres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TP-Link - **Colour:** Red - **Compatible Operating System Family:** Windows - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Server - **Data link protocol:** Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet - **Data transfer rate:** 10 Gigabits Per Second - **Hardware interface:** Ethernet, PCI - **Minimum Required Operating System Version:** Windows 7 - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Product dimensions:** 12.1L x 9.8W x 2.2H centimetres ## Images ![TX401 10 Gigabit PCIe Network Card, PCI Express Network Adapter, Low-Profile and Full-Height Brackets, Supports Wins 11,10,8.1,8,7, Wins Servers RS 2022,2019,2016,2012 R2, Linux - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LfgsmQ69L.jpg) ![TX401 10 Gigabit PCIe Network Card, PCI Express Network Adapter, Low-Profile and Full-Height Brackets, Supports Wins 11,10,8.1,8,7, Wins Servers RS 2022,2019,2016,2012 R2, Linux - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51jd3DswBvL.jpg) ![TX401 10 Gigabit PCIe Network Card, PCI Express Network Adapter, Low-Profile and Full-Height Brackets, Supports Wins 11,10,8.1,8,7, Wins Servers RS 2022,2019,2016,2012 R2, Linux - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RtMSm6YDL.jpg) ![TX401 10 Gigabit PCIe Network Card, PCI Express Network Adapter, Low-Profile and Full-Height Brackets, Supports Wins 11,10,8.1,8,7, Wins Servers RS 2022,2019,2016,2012 R2, Linux - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51CZ0+yRA3L.jpg) ![TX401 10 Gigabit PCIe Network Card, PCI Express Network Adapter, Low-Profile and Full-Height Brackets, Supports Wins 11,10,8.1,8,7, Wins Servers RS 2022,2019,2016,2012 R2, Linux - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61s78Y8j4JL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A robust and stable card that I very highly recommend.
