Holding up well over time, is cheap, works perfectly out of box
I’ve had one of these running in my desktop for months now without issue. I don’t even blast it with air or anything, it’s just a standard tower case with basic cooling, works great. I didn’t have any driver troubles, Windows 11 actually installed a driver for me that seems to work just fine, I get full line speed tests and no drop outs or latency issues. Very happy with this overall. Probably the cheapest way to get a 10gig SFP+ in a desktop.

Would not recommend
Card isn't setup to function as a standard Ethernet controller. The setup drivers didn't work from the manufacturer website. Documentation felt lacking. Overall bad experience. Bought it thinking I could get 10gb connection out of the box. Nope!

Works well, great price.
Works well in both windows 11 and Proxmox. Windows 11 driver install require following the procedure in the user manual. The driver must be installed manually from devices in windows control panel.

Works well, until it doesn't
I bought two of these, one for a Linux box and one for a Windows box. They both worked great out of the box initially (with the exception of having to install drivers on Windows), but less than a month later, one of them died. I am in the process of replacing the one that died, and I am hoping that this is just a one time thing and not a larger pattern.

Drivers Wouldn't Install !!! Had to Return!
Bought two of these NIC cards with high hopes to get my equipment running at 10gig. BUT, I couldn't get them to work. Installation was straight forward and easy. It was when I moved on to driver installation where it turned for the worse. The Intel drivers the company recommends installing DOESN'T WORK !!!! I'm not going to remember the exact wording, but the message I kept getting was "no Intel equipment recognized" or something to that effect. If you can't get the drivers to install, these cards are essentially useless (no matter how inexpensive they are). So, I returned these and just bought true Intel NIC cards (YES, they were more expensive, but at least the drivers would install!!)". I gave it two stars, because the actual card was well made, I just wish I would have gotten it to work!

Picture Misleading -- No Low Profile Bracket
This card did not come with a low-profile PCIe bracket like the picture shows. Because of this, I can't install it in my 2U

Not compatible with Windows 11 or DOA
Product does not appear to be compatible with Windows 11, despite the pictures in the product description explicitly stating that it is compatible.

Woks on Win 10, Win 11 Device Not Found
I purchased this PCI card last year when I was still running Windows 10 on my computer. However, when I upgraded to 11, the card itself just disappeared entirely from my computer. I could not find it in my device manager/network device list. Win 11, drivers, and my mobo BIOS is also fully updated. I also moved the NIC to a different PCI slot and still no luck. I do have a second computer still running Windows 10. I moved the NIC card over, and it came up right away in the device list. I installed the drivers, and the card worked as expected. I am not sure if there is some issue with my NIC's firmware. It works find on Win 10 but on Win 11, it just doesn't work at all.

Schlägt den Preis des Synology-Originals um Längen
Läuft bei mir in einer DS1821+, keine Probleme. Kostet wesentlich weniger, als das Original von Synology. Daher klare Empfehlung!

Utilisé sur un Dell optiplex 3060 MT
Je voulais avoir du réseau 10Gbs sur mon Dell optiplex 3060 MT. J’ai du commander par la suite un autre adapteur sata pour connecter la carte sfp+ car chez Dell vous disposez pas assez de port sata donc j’ai dû acheter un hub et pour le moment la carte fonctionne et le débit et correct et dépends aussi du débit de votre box

Inpossible à installer, reconnue 1 fois en forçant ...
Passez votre chemin, j'ai réussi a la faire reconnaitre par Windows 11 une fois sans que la connexion devienne fonctionnelle. Et encore sur un port PCiEx 1X ! Le driver d'intel refuse de s'installer, obligé de passer par le gestionnaire de périphérique. Ensuite pas de connexion et 1 journée après elle a disparue du gestionnaire... Je suis passé à une Digitus, certes plus chère et que 1Gbits (pas besoin de plus chez moi) mais au premier démarrage rien à faire, fonctionnelle direct! Et concrètement en main, cette carte paraît vraiment mais vraiment bas de gamme, le résultat est donc guère étonnant...mais quel perte de temps!

Fonctionne sur PC et windows 11
Après installation des drives Intel. Il est donc bien équipé de la puce Intel Bonne idée au fabricant d'avoir mis une équerre ici noir ainsi qu'une équerre courte
