ASUS XG-C100F PCI-E Network Interface Card

Had to upgrade from a Mellanox 10Gbit card because motherboard manufacturers seem to dedicate PCIe lanes to multiple M.2 connectors and there wasn't anything beyond PCIe gen4 x4 on my MB besides the 16x intended for the GPU.The card was instantly recognized by Windows 11 and Debian 12, it comes with some drivers but I haven't even bothered, it just works!It automatically enables Receive Side Scaling, different offloads and whatnot. It does support VLAN tagging and it can handle Jumbo packets of up to 16348 bytes (running it a 9014 bytes only because my infrastructure cannot handle anymore).It runs well with an old direct connect cable I have from HP, I don't think it will be very picky with SFP+ modules, but haven't tested it much.It comes with a low profile bracket.Great purchase if you cannot use one of those cheap 10Gbit cards from eBay due to lack of proper PCIe slots in modern motherboards.

Bought this for a Windows 10 box to connect to a Freenas box that was saturating a 1Gb network connection. I had initially cheaped out and bought two Chelsio 10Gb NIC's from ebay, one works just peachy with BSD but would it work with Windows? would it chuff, downloaded a driver, fiddled with settings for what seemed ever and got nowhere.Decided to try this out and it's a gem, tossed it in the pc, booted up, installed a driver - which is supplied on a cd and boom, 10Gb networking working like a charm, with 4 lumps of spinning rust in zfs1 speeds have gone from 119Mb/s to peaking at just over 235Mb/s so they're obviously now destined for spinning rust heaven and it's hello 4Tb SSD x 4 or maybe 6.tldr - plug and play personified, fit and forget, ossum

Bought this as was having trouble getting the far cheaper old v2 devices to be recognised on my skylake motherboard. Being v3 this worked first time and achieves bang on the expected 1gb/s transfer speeds with little heat.Another huge bonus is that it worked out of the box with the atlantic drivers built into the kernel and my debian 9 installation had no trouble at all.Shame it doesn't have two cages though as cages aren't that expensive and I have a lot of NVME drives so the SFP connection is quite commonly a bottleneck.

Good PCIe x4 10GBE SFX+ Network card.Works as expected in Linux and Windows.Not for Synology NAS. OK in Qnap.

Worked for about 3 weeks. According to Asus the seller/supplier is responsible for warranty and return witch didn't happen so far. Not happy!
