ipolex10Gb Network Card, 2x SFP+ Port, 10GbE NIC Compare to the Intel X520-DA2, Support Windows Server/Windows/Linux/VMware (Not Support Mac OS, Bypass Mode)

Bought for esxi server 7. discovered and working without any issues

This Intel X520-DA1 82599ES based chip gives excellent performance, and works in an x4 PCIe slot at full 10Gb, even though advertised for x8. (this only applies to the single port model, not enough bandwidth for dual port)Used this in a Qnap NAS and a PC to obtain a 10Gb link which is very fast. - Recommended!

I've bought 2 cards in May 2019 and one has a fault in one of the ports.How can I get it replaced please?

Added this to my pfsense build, plug and play. No driver issues or hacky workarounds required.

Great product for the price, you must install the intel drivers/software before installing the card. I thought maybe windows 10 would have already had certain drivers installed, but no such luck. Easy to install into PC, make sure it’s in the fastest slot available.

Worked immediately with TrueNAS

To be fair I was a really disappointed when this card turned up. Considering how much it cost the heat sink was quite loose and wobbled about. I tried to straighten it up but it kept reverting back to its wonky state. There's a couple of plastic pegs on opposite corners of the heatsink, held in place with springs, but it looks like one of the springs was weaker than the other one and compressed fully causing the issue. Perhaps my card was faulty but this sort of thing should be picked up in QA.The card seemed to work and was detected fine after installing the Intel drivers from their website. This also leveraged the extra functionality provided by this card's chipset such as VLANs, Link Aggregation etc. so it clearly works and appears to be a genuine Intel chip.However, the heatsink got incredibly hot after only a few minutes use. I just didn't have much confidence in the heatsink doing a good job of dissipating heat, or in the plastic pins holding it on top of a chip that clearly gets really hot.If you are looking for a Dual port 10GbE RJ45 card I think there are better quality options out there.Pros:- Appears to be a genuine Intel chip- Works with Intel drivers to leverage advanced functionality such as VLANs, Link Aggregation etc.- Comes with low profile bracketCons:- Expensive- Really poor build quality on the heatsink and installation- Runs very hot

Always arrived the following day, great service.Just works as it should, up and running with Intel X5xx series drivers in seconds.Great product at a good price. Thanks

Tengo fibra de 10Gb/s y esta tarjeta coge como mucho 1.7Gb/s. He contactado con Intel, 10Gtek y nada, no hay solución.

3 Stück gekauft für 41 € (mit 10% Rabattcoupon). Eine Karte wurde vom NAS/Server nicht erkannt, trotz Qualitätsprüfstempel das sie getestet wurde. Defekt, kein Problem, Rücksendung. Wird mit Low-Profil-Blech geliefert und hat PCIe 2.0 X8. Läuft sofort mit Synology-NAS und VMware ESXi - kein Treiber erforderlich. Bei Amazon gibt es etliche absolut baugleiche und ähnliche Karten vom Typ X520-DA1 zu unterschiedlichen Preisen. Vergleichen lohnt sich. Auf Rabattcoupons achten. Es gibt Karten mit silbernen Kühlkörper der etwas größer ist und so den LAN-Chip besser kühlt.

Dopo aver provato altre schede con chipset Aquantia questo di Intel è l'unico che rimane stabile ed ha una velocità di circa 7Gb download e 2Gb upload costanti. Caro ma soddisfatto.

Fonctionne parfaitement avec la freebox delta , par contre sur Windows 11 j ai bien galérer a l installer

l'ho installata su pfsense per collegarlo ad uno switch mikrotik in 10G. Il sistema l'ha visto senza nessun problema e le performance sono ottime. La consiglio per la sua facilità d'uso e per il prezzo.
