NIC-2.5G-PCIe Card

Works perfect! Nicgiga is a good brand, card runs fine without direct airflow on it. It's priced right and works under windows and linux without issue.

I've got two of these Marvell-based cards from NICGIGA running in a server PC and couldn't be more satisfied. They were a cinch to install. The drivers (available under Marvell's Public Drivers page) were easy to find and update; they work with Windows 10 as well as 11. Both cards—purchased a year apart, so the build has changed slightly (see photo)—run cool, which is a rarity for 10GbE networking. And the performance is great: iPerf consistently measures 9.49 Gbits/sec between 10G-capable LAN devices.

Works under Fedora 42. But I had to swap out my cable to get it to negotiate to 10 Gbe

I have an old MacBook Pro laptop dual booting to Kubuntu 24.04 and MacOS 10.3. I wanted to enable a 10G Ethernet connection to my nas. I already had a Thunderbolt to PCIe external case so I was in the look for a PCIe card that would work with boot operating systems. Fortunately I found very quickly that Marvell AQC107 was supported in Windows, Linux and (not so new) MacOS releases.I found that the card in question had an old firmware, so I installed it in my Windows PC and updated it using the flash program that I downloaded from the Marvell site. I played with the card on Windows 10 and it was fast and stable.With the updated firmware, I installed the card in the Thunderbolt PCIe case and booted into Linux. Everything was recognized and it worked as expected. Then I rebooted into MacOS and voilà, MacOS was accessing the nas at 10G :-)Very happy with the card.

Description along with AI in "Ask A Question" stated that it comes with A usb with the correct drivers needed. Not TRUE! Had to scan the QR code on the metal bracket of card to be taken to the Marvell website then sort out all the drivers available and hope that I grabbed the right one. The card does work well but I took off 2 star because Description and AI's answer about the USB was incorrect. and another 1 star because the driver is in 2 zipped folders with all kinds of stuff in them that make it so confusing and is listed under "Marvell_AQtion_x64_Win_ver3.1.10.0_signed" Nothing anywhere or in any folders was named "Marvell AQC113" Which is what would be common sense name to use so you know it's the correct driver for the card. Good Luck!EDIT:Removed leftover stars because the card stopped working 3 Days later, The card vanished from my PC! It's still connected where I originally placed it however, windows 11 pro will not recognize it! I spent about 3 hours troubleshooting it trying everything, different slot, uninstalling and reinstalling via OS and physically reloading drivers, everything that I could try all to no avail. This card that was working fine 3 days ago is just not recognized in my PC/OS anymore. I have now returned it for a full refund! Time to look for another brand... Meanwhile what a waste of time!

It works at 5gig but ONLY if you install the offical realtec driver. Sticker to download driver on the bracket has a typo so never works. Nothing a quick search didn't fix. Has really good throughput when paired with a 5gb SFP in my Cisco Meraki switch. Does run hot but the heat sink helps

This little PCI card packs a nice punch! I’m in the process of re-wiring and redoing my network setup to prepare for an internet upgrade in the future. I’m currently at a 1GB speed but plan on updating to 2.5GB later.Easy installation and works with the drivers that Windows 10/11 finds for you. It will boost your current speed as well. I was getting around 700MBPS on average on my 1GB Ethernet port built into my ASUS motherboard. Once I starting using this Ethernet card, my speeds are consistently close to max. I’m getting around 950MBPS consistently now!I bought two of these so far and highly recommend it if your Internet speeds are more than 1GB and you want to utilize all that extra bandwidth. Or if you have 1GB speeds and your current Ethernet port is not quite getting its max

Easy to install and blazing fast compared to my previous card.
