10Gtek 10Gb PCI-E NIC Network Card, Quad SFP+ Port, with Original Intel XL710-BM1 Controllers, PCI Express Ethernet LAN Adapter Support Windows Server/Linux/VMware ESXi, Compare to Intel X710-DA4

Compatible with minisforum N5 base. Ran iperf3 successfully after making kernel tuning for Linux host and I get 10GB performance with both TCP and UDP flows. Cannot speak of other OS drivers as the main use case will be virtualization and Linux and so far it has been solid with a DAC CABLE

My system already had 10Gb ethernet, but I disliked the heat from the translation between SFP+ and RJ46 so I got this so I could just use a DAC cable between my system and the switch. No issues installing, I just had to download the driver from Intel and install it manually, otherwise it worked pretty quickly without issues. Tested getting full 10-gig speeds through iperf3 no problem. 10Gtek seems to be establishing themselves well in the industry. Great cables, wonderful adapters, and now solid NICs to add to the list of items of theirs I've gotten and used. All work solid and as expected.

These are plug and play for Linux. Worked like a champ.

I'm using this as a direct attached connection between my Linux box and my Ubiquiti core network switch. It's vastly improved the responsiveness of my network filesystem connections on my macs, and I'm quite happy with it. Zero problems connecting it; I'm on the latest AlmaLinux, and all it needed was configuration after boot. Going from a 1gig ethernet to this was like night and day.

10GTek is now my go-to brand for high speed networking. I had previously purchased their SAS and Fibre channel cables for other projects and was always satisfied with the quality. I recently upgraded many of my security cameras to 4k, You'd be surprised how quickly several 4k cameras recording 24x7 fill a Terabyte and how slowly that data moves off-system even at 2.5gb Ethernet. In order to reach my retention goals I bought these cards and SFP+ transceivers to build a point-to-point high speed link to dump footage from my NAS to a second system which uses OpenCV to take a frame from the video stream of each camera every hour to create an index so I can quickly narrow down a block of time to retrieve for review should the need arise then off-loads it all to an LTO Tape Library. I Installed these cards in two Ubuntu 25.04 systems and the native drivers immediately recognized them. I established IPs and routing and the speed I could move large blocks of data is incredible. With large file transfers the card gets warm but not incredibly hot which people had indicated should be the case with optical vs copper SFP+ modules. While SAS and Fibre Channel are incredible connectivity options in their own rights there is something satisfying about moving a similar volume of data using normal protocols like tar and rsync. I briefly brought one of these card connected to my NAS up under Windows 11 and although it is completely unnecessary the speed is addicting, now I'm looking for a good inexpensive 10gbe switch so I can put a couple more hosts on my 10gb subnet.

Nonfunctional in enterprise system. Left the entire system running extremely slowly and unusable. Ended up having to use a genuine Intel NIC instead.

Works fine but the EEPROM is configured for 2 interfaces so the card allocates 8 PCIe lanes even though only 4 are needed.

Easy to install, value for the money, great speed. The machine I have this on is a custom-built desktop running Windows 11, and I had to obtain the driver from Intel. Great product!

Prodotto funziona, su scheda madre ASROCK RACK SPC621D8, VMware 7.0.3. verifiche arriva a 9/8Gbs di trasmissione.

In meinen TrueNAS Server eingebaut und sofort hat alles funktioniert. Ursprünglich wurde sie jedoch für meinen Windows 11 PC gekauft, aber dort bekam ich sie nicht zum Laufen. Wurde weder im BIOS noch in Windows erkannt. Nach mehreren verzweifelten Stunden habe ich es aufgegeben und die Karte zurückgeschickt.

La tarjeta funciona perfectamente a 10 Gb

Excelente producto
