10G Gigabit Ethernet Converged Network Adapter with Intel X540 Chip, 10Gb NIC Compare to Intel X540-T2 Network Card, Dual RJ45 Copper Ports, PCI Express X8

Lief out of the box im Agx Orin DevKit

I got this since I wanted to replace my high-end router/AP combo with an OPNSense router setup. First and foremost, in the box, you get the Network adapter and an SFF bracket. Installation is easy and OPNSense automatically recognizes the adapter. The trick with the X540 networking adapters is that it can only do 100Mbps/1Gbps/10Gbps. So if you have a 2.5Gbps infrastructure, you will miss out on performance and maybe this adapter is not for you. But I have a 10Gbps infrastructure so I went for it. I'm able to get the advertised 4Gbps symmetrical internet speeds using this adapter, and when I do an internal test, I am able to get up to 9.5Gbps which is exactly what I've been hoping for. This card doesn't report temperatures to the OS, but I checked it by hand after a couple days of heavy use and it wasn't even warm to the touch which is good news since these adapters are prone to overheating. Overall, this is a great networking adapter for someone who wants to get into the world of networking.

This dual port 10G network card worked like a champ. Installed it in the system, disabled the boot from LAN options (which my system didn't like), but it works great once properly configured. It was NOT hard at all to make the BIOS changes needed OR to install the needed drivers to get it running with the OS. When I need another 2 port 10G network card, I'll go for another one of these!

Pleinement compatibles avec des NAS SYNOLOGY tels que rs2418+ rs2421+ ds2419+ rs3617+ rs3614+ ds1618+ ds3018xs+.

Bought one of these before and works fine in my server, bought another for the a work station, but this was dead on arrival, tried in two machines (one didnt recognise or see it and other was just red LED didnt do anything) so presumed dead,, sent back got money back once posted return.... will seek another brand.
