If your thinking of using this for SMB multichannel it wont work at full speed. Seems the card can only handle 1.75Gb when using both ports at the same time. Other than that the card works great.

Extremely easy to install. Works great once the internet connected.

worked great for a few months and started crashing none-stop when i began gaming again, tried everything from re-installing network card in windows, re-installing windows entirely, combination of all kinds or different settings and nothing worked.found a few cases like me after a google search.switched back to network card on motherboard and no problem.

Warning this card did not work out of the box. I had to download drivers directly from Marvell, which main the installation a little more difficult; but easy to set up with drivers once you have them downloaded.One of the few black PCB + heatsink 10GBE RJ45 NIC's. Got it to replace my Asus XG-C100C because that was all RED (Does not match my PC build).Overall would recommend if you know how to manually install drivers, and dont mind dealing with that.EDIT: Sometimes Windows 10 does not detect this NIC after sleep. Unstable drivers, will return it, don't recommend if you're using it for Windows.

Good 10GbE card! Impressed with the complete packaging including CD and USB stick for drivers. Working well in my system with both Windows 11 and Server 2019 systems.More details in my blog post - do search for "Archimago QFly" in google for the article in Archimago's Musings in Feb 2024.

Bought three of these, and using them on a 2.5 Gbps switch for the moment. This is the newer AQC113C, so it's PCIe 4.0, so you don't need to have full 4X lanes to get full 10Gbps speeds. Even 4.0 1X should manage full 10Gbps link speed, and 3.0 1X in theory should work, but it's nice to have all 4.0 4X wired up on the card side, in case you want every last bit of performance.I have this running on Windows 11, I used the drivers from the included USB drive to get online, then grabbed the newest driver from Windows Update. No issues yet.I have this running on Arch Linux. It was detected and set up automatically, using in-kernel drivers. The Marvell ACQtion driver is included in the main Arch kernel, other distros have varying support. Check twice before buying, and you'll be happy!Performance tests with a 10Gbps switch to be added later.

Installed this into a new system running Debian 12 (bookworm) and it came up plug-n-play with no issues or fiddling, no doubt thanks to the new non-free-firmware setup. Transferred 20 TB over it with no problem, though it sat at ~80C the whole time - this could be due to not having sufficient airflow at that point, can't say for sure. In any case, I'd recommend you watch the temps on this one. Also note it was actually only running at 1GBit speeds for that, as the machine on the other end wasn't configured properly. But the network segment on the QFly end was 10Gbit.Then I moved the card to a Windows 10 machine and the drivers didn't come up automatically or via a Windows Update search using a different connected NIC. I had thrown out the packaging and CD at that point and couldn't find drivers online. The flash drive with the drivers comes up normally on Windows (*), and you just point Device Manager's driver search at that. Haven't put it through its paces on Windows yet, but it is working.(*) Note that if you want to mount the pack-in flash drive on linux you may have issues, since (on the one I got) there is no partition table(!) - fdisk gets confused by it and claims a nonsense partition layout because it's actually a bare filesystem, so you want to "mount /dev/sdX", NOT "mount /dev/sdX1". Don't know if automount systems can handle this gracefully or not.(Also final words: the review that says that this NIC doesn't work with "linux (pfsense)" is incorrect - the card works fine on linux, but pfsense isn't linux, it's FreeBSD. Always double-check compatibility for newer hardware before you buy if you're working with BSD, compatibility is generally worse than with linux.)No ragrets.

I purchased this card for an existing Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Xen server. It works great, and fits very nicely into a 1U server chassis.But, the big problem is drivers. The manufacturer download site is laughable. The only option is to download a source version of the driver, once you find it, and then rebuild the driver and your kernel to include it. It would be one thing if this was for a really old or really new OS, but Ubuntu 20?Fortunately, I found a project on GitHub (awesometic/realtek-r8125-dkms) which builds and packages the driver. All you need to do is to install DKMS, and then install the downloaded .deb file, and all is well.In summary, this is a great little card, marred by terrible driver support. Apparently Ubuntu 22.04 LTS may include RTK8125 support built-in, but for older OSs, forget it.
