Funciona bastante bien. He tenido algunas experiencias un poco extrañas la primera semana de uso (no estoy seguro si era problema del dispositivo o de Windows 10) pero luego funciona sin problemas por meses.Usandolo con apps como Moonlight que son muy sensibles a malos algoritmos de red no noto problemas: ideal para gaming.Lo único que puedo destacar como no ideal es que Windows 10 no tiene drivers nativos: hay que correr Windows Update para que instale automáticamente los drivers correctos.

Cette carte réseau PCIe 3.1 avec le contrôleur Intel I225-V est tout simplement parfaite pour une utilisation sur des réseaux 2.5Gbps, et elle s'est avérée parfaitement compatible avec VMware ESXi.Points forts :Compatibilité avec les réseaux 2.5Gbps : La carte gère sans problème les débits de 2.5Gbps, 1Gbps et 100Mbps, ce qui en fait un choix polyvalent pour une infrastructure réseau mixte. J'ai testé des transferts de fichiers importants sur mon réseau domestique, et les performances en 2.5Gbps sont excellentes et stables.Fonctionnement impeccable sous ESXi : La carte est reconnue immédiatement par ESXi sans avoir à chercher des pilotes additionnels, ce qui est un vrai gain de temps pour une configuration virtualisée.Câble Cat8 inclus : Le câble Ethernet de 0,9 m fourni est de très bonne qualité et garantit des connexions fiables, même sur des réseaux haut débit. C'est un petit détail, mais appréciable pour un produit à ce prix.Installation facile : L'installation dans un slot PCIe 3.1 est rapide, et le support à profil bas inclus permet une adaptation parfaite pour les boîtiers plus compacts.En résumé, cette carte est une solution idéale pour tous ceux qui recherchent une connexion réseau 2.5Gbps fiable et efficace, que ce soit pour des serveurs virtualisés sous ESXi ou des PC sous Windows 10/11. La combinaison de la compatibilité, des performances et du câble Ethernet inclus en fait un produit au rapport qualité/prix imbattable.

Does what its supposed to, but I have issues with the windows drivers. Required flipping some configuration switches to make it stable under windows 10.

I purchased this NIC to bypass my motherboard’s integrated Realtek controller that was forcing my computer to be limited to 100mb/s network speeds. This NIC was very easy to install, and I was immediately able to see an improvement in speed as it auto negotiated true gigabit speeds with my switch. My ping dropped from 7 to 1ms, and streaming videos no longer freeze temporarily. Delivery was fast, and the contents were well protected. A great value for the money for the performance of this NIC.

Bought this to match the cable modem nic and was pleasantly surprised I didn’t have to complete the driver for OPNSense. It worked immediately and picked up and IP at 2500MBps and even shows as an option for Speed/Duplex in OPNSense.

Card installed and recognized by Windows 10, no special drivers necessary.System is also used for VMware work, ESXi 7 requires installing the Net-Community-Driver, current version is 1.2.7.0. Once that is installed, card is available for use and vMotion migrations are considerably faster than over a 1Gbit network.

I tossed this NIC into an older Dell and built a pfSense (FreeBSD fork) firewall (IDS/IPS, domain blocking). This NIC functions well for this task and it was inexpensive to boot! It's a SFF Dell that found new life as the best firewall my SB client has ever owned. It's cheap, compatible and functions well.Pros: price, functionality, compatibilityCons: non existent for me at this time

DIED after two weeks.During its brief life it worked great.Guess I'll be spending a little extra money on something better.We had a lightning storm. I checked my computer devices to see if anything was damaged. Everything runs through an APC ups circuit protector. Everything is fine, however now the Network Adapter is working. Two weeks so far. I'll let you know if that changes. Spooky.

I was building my own router and needed two NICs. These both had a chipset that works well with OPNSense and happened to be 2.5 gig, which I figured would be useful in case my connection ever goes higher than 1 gig as it is now. So far, they work flawless and I have had no issues with them. Swapped the low profile bracket on, and installation was like any other PCIe card.

I got this Network Card because it would fit in my PCIe 3.0 x1 available slot on my motherboard (ASUS ROG Strix 370-G Gaming motherboard). I have a 10 Gigabit Switch (Trendnet TEG-7080ES), and CAT 7 cable.With a 10 Gbe ethernet card, the same Cat 7 cable, connectors and 10Gbe switch, run at full speed. However, when using the 2.5 Gbe card, it runs at a much slower speed than 2.5 Gbe, on the order of 1 Gbe.The latest Intel driver for the card, version 28.2.1, was used with their Intel(R) PROSet Adapter Configuration Utility, passes the card's "Hardware Tests", fails the "Cable Link Status" of the "Connection Tests",and fails both "Cable Tests".I tried the same card with another computer of similar type slots and got the same results.Now maybe it's a bad card, and I would have submitted a request for tech support, but there is nothing listed in the instructions or here. So I am giving this a 1 star. Should something change, I will update this review, but I am returning this card for now.
