Dual-Port PCIe X4 Gigabit Network Card 1000M PCI Express Ethernet Adapter with Intel 82576 Two Ports LAN NIC Card for Support PXE SR-IOV for Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Freebsd/DOS with Low Profile

My onboard network quit working. Used a x4 slot and it works perfect. Now I have 2 ports which my Synology uses. Easy setup and fast.

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, compatibility Cons: non existent for me at this time

Installed in my new NAS server and the linux os picks it right up with additional drivers needed. I have been running this for a while now with no problems. Great value and speed performance.

worked great and had an adapter to make it fit.

This unit replaced the onboard Realtek LAN on my TrueNAS build. Onboard chip was binging down my entire network (via NFS shares failing). Slapped this in, no drivers needed, fixed the issues and transfer speeds tripled and remain consistent.

This has been a nightmare on a Windows 11. Keeps dropping the connection. Cannot use the Microsoft drivers and need different drivers, but the technology is obsolete. I have installed a close driver, but if that does not work, I will buy something else.

Works great on TrueNAS (FreeBSD) latest version, plug n play and no issues.

Good theoughput on both

Ich nutze die Karte in einem Proxmox-Host, um eine dedizierte Firewall-VM mit zwei physisch getrennten Interfaces zu betreiben. Genau dafür ist sie ideal. Die Installation war unkompliziert, wurde sofort erkannt und lief ohne Treiber-Gefrickel. Beide Ports arbeiten stabil mit voller Gigabit-Geschwindigkeit, auch unter Dauerlast. Für Szenarien wie Routing, VLANs oder eine pfSense/OPNsense-VM absolut zuverlässig. Keine Aussetzer, keine Paketverluste im Alltag. Die Karte wirkt sauber verarbeitet und passt problemlos in einen PCIe-Slot, auch in kompakten Systemen. Für Homeserver, Virtualisierung oder Lab-Umgebungen eine richtig gute Wahl, wenn man zusätzliche Interfaces braucht. In meinem Setup läuft sie seit längerer Zeit unauffällig und genau so, wie man es erwartet. Klare 5 Sterne für den Einsatz in Proxmox-Umgebungen.

Great value

As mentioned in product description its supported vmware esxi, and linux but in my case its not automatically detecting in my vmware esxi 8.0 version, as i am a student and i buy it for my hone lab, so how can i load the driver in esxi for this card, because i uave no support.

I needed a dual LAN port so I can have internet with a connection to my NAS on the second port. please the CD with the drivers to add the cards yet make sure which ports are going to where and rename them in windows. Windows may install other drivers later, all to do with using template's for secure DNS

Chegou em 5 dias. Testei em windows11 e Windows Server 5 estrelas :) Acabei por instalar com Linux/Freebebeb/Pfsense 2.7 e funcionou muito bem. Aconselho bom preço/qualidade.
