I'm not at the full 10gig yet but 3gig is 3 times faster than everyone elses LAN. Here's what happened....I chucked one card in a test PC and booted on my Linux Mint 19 usb stick. Immediately the card was networking and online and I had done nothing. Admittedly only at 1gbs because it set itself to the speed of my hub.The next task was to give it something to talk to at 10gbps. Another spare PC I installed ClearOS 7 from usb. The problem here was it did not see the fancy new card, only the bog standard Realtek onboard.After a lot of going in circles I realised I should tell ClearOS to get all it's updates. With the latest Kernel installed ClearOS 7 was now v7.6 and the card showed up.I just had to use the WebUI to activate the card and I had a 10gbs server!Testing between RAM drives over the SMB file network between the desktop and the server using a 5.3GB file there was a massive speed boost but not to 10gbs.Over the normal 1gbs network the 5.3GB file took 93 seconds to transfer.Over the new 10gbs network it was 35 seconds!The file transfer was reporting 360MB/s which is faster than hard drives in the real world. Equivalent to 3 to 4gbs.It should really have been ten times quicker and I'm still on the hunt for that speed but a 3 times speedup breaks the record!It was not all that hard to set up the cards. Part of the problem is they are new so you need the latest kernel. The other part is I was expecting problems so when things did not work I went down rabbit holes of compiling drivers off of Github when I did not need to. Just make sure you're really up to date and this card should "Just Work" .Is it worth spending so much money?1. Too much money to make something that's already fast enough faster still.2. Finally cheap enough and simple enough to be worth chasing the extra speed.Both answers are correct. If money is really important to you then don't do this. If speed is really important to you then finally you can get the speed you've been waiting for.

I bought 2 of these adapters to evaluate against some (more expensive) alternatives in a small Linux cluster running Ubuntu. Unlike some of the other cards, where I had to compile the device drivers from C source code, these cards worked out of the box.It's also very fast and I am achieving 9.42Gbs which is close to the theoretical maximum allowing for overheads. Benchmarks attached.I've installed it in a spare PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and I've noticed that a few reviewers have commented that they are achieving much lower speeds and I did some research and experimentation to find out why.This card ideally needs to be placed in a PCIe 3.0 slot with x4 speed to achieve its potential. I moved it to a PCIe 2.0 slot,in the same computer, and the bandwidth dropped to 7.4 Gbs. This isn't a fault of the card, the same thing would happen with other 10 Gbe adapters.On some motherboards some of the PCIe slots are wired for lower speed than their physical width, or installing multiple PCIe cards can reduce the number of available channels across the entire bus, for example installing a powerful GPU may reduce, or even disable, other slots. So I advise you to consult your system manual for the configuration and select the slot carefully.

Worked immediately in my Linux PC, with 64 CPU, no drivers needed ~ lan was the bottleneckMake sure the short slot on your motherboard is PCI3 and not PCI2, sometimes a short slot will be downgraded to a PCI2 by the manufacturer while all the other longer slots are PCI3.You can of course put it in a longer slot to obtain PCI3 and that's exactly what I have had to do and move one of my cards down to the PCI2 short slot - it's a USB 3.1 Type C card and still has ample bandwidth to provide 10Gbits to my external hardware even though it's now in a PCI2 slot.Before you complain of slow throughput consider where the data you are transmitting is being stored, if it's a standard spinning HDD then they max out between 200~250Mb/s,SATA SSD or SATA NVME maxes out at 500~600Mb/s, mine goes to PCI Bus mounted NVME in PCI3 mode ~ which in my system max out at 2GB/s, that's 2 GigaBytes / s, not 2 Gigabits / s, generally speaking if a measurement is in Gb/s it's Giga bits ( small b ), if its GB/s its Giga Bytes ( capital B ) but not everyone sticks to this convention.Rule of thumb - MegaBytes/s are approx 1/10th of the Gigabits, keep that in mind and the speeds in your system are easier to envisage.

I bought two of these cards to setup a direct connection between a desktop PC and an unraid server.Cards in both machines (unraid & win10) were instantly recognised and once I setup the IP addresses, connectivity worked fine using a cat7 cable.I tried a few tests and doing ramdisk to ramdisk I was only able to max out at 717MB/s which is well below 10GB theoretical speed, however is clearly a significant improvement over gigabit networking (116MB/s).This is also above the read/write speed of a standard SSD (max around 550MB/s), unless you have a couple in raid 0 or nvme at both sides.

Yes, you can get second-hand server-grade 10GbE cards from eBay for less, but they run hotter (often needing active cooling), will only run at either 1Gb or 10Gb (no intermediate 2.5Gb or 5Gb speeds) and some can lead you down real rabbit holes with respect to firmware upgrades and the like, never mind the driver issues. Sure, the performance isn't _quite_ up there with the more grown-up 10GbE cards, but realistically in any kind of home or SOHO 10GbE setup, they're brilliant.

I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro and on running the install program it immediately updated the drivers in my PC whereupon I set a static IP address and it all works flawlessly.This is a good buy for £95.40, interesting it went up in price by a fiver overnight.I just need Amazon to deliver my final switch and I'll be running at 10G and loving it.

Brilliant price of kit, works perfectly. the only issue is windows itself being so bad at gateway selection. It would be nice to have software control over apps so you can manage bandwidth but that's not necessary.

Despite some reviews pointing to slower than advertised data transfer rates, our three all transfer at the maximum speed capable on the network with our drives...So we are very pleased.

Fits into PCIe x4 slot and runs fairly cool.Good value for money but I had problems with continual disconnections from network.Think this might be an Aquantia driver problem?

Much less hard than usual to get going with Linux: supported by kernel > 4.11. Haven't tried with Windows/Mac but no doubt will work. Keen price.

Bought a pair and a 10Gb switch for my server workstation set up, seriously fast transfer time and file syncs, blink and its done!

Popped 1 of these in NAS and 1 in my PC noticeable difference in transfer speeds to and fro nice wee investment :) :)

Works great for me at full speed. However i had to juggle around some PCI cards as this needs a full 4x lanes.

Provides me with 10GbE connectivity for almost half the price of 'standard' intel card. What's not to like?

Had this in my Linux NAS for a while now and had zero problems with it. Not much else I can really say.
