10Gtek 10Gb PCI-E NIC Network Card, Dual SFP+ Port, with Original Intel X710-BM2, PCI Express Ethernet LAN Adapter Support Windows Server/Windows/Linux/ESX, Compare to Intel X710-DA2

I have been using this for a little over a week with zero problems. Does everything I expected and works perfect with multiple VLANs (UniFi Network 9.3) and VMs (VirtualBox 7.2) in my Homelab. I used the Windows 11 30.3 drivers from Intel (Wired_driver_30.3_x64.zip) which was easy to install. Be aware that Intel PROSet/ANS is not supported on Microsoft Windows 11 in case that is important to you, but that is not something I needed. I am using this with 10gtek LC fiber transceivers.

Good card, works “ok” with Windows 11 but better in other OSes. It keeps me from having to use the awful built-in Marvell NICs on my motherboard that seemed to slowly fail if the PC went to sleep or if they were active too long or got too warm. We live in the future!

I don't know what it is, but I have the WORST luck with my gaming towers. Even now I'm unable to get it to wake from sleep correctly, requiring me to wake, then force power off, then power on, then click Exit because it goes into the BIOS, restart, and finally login. EVERY TIME I try to wake it from sleep. Anyway, that's something else. The point is, I was dismayed (but not surprised) when my first X710-DA2-based card would not work. I spent hours trying to figure it out, but ultimately I gave up. I think with my luck such as it is, I just happened to get a dud. But this one works great. I did the usual dance for Windows 11 that I had become so accustomed to while trying to get the last one to work: Install to PCIe slot, reboot, install X710 drivers from the Intel website, and that was it! Plugged in the transceivers and it instantly negotiated a 10GbE connection with my switch. I then ran the Intel NVM Update utility to update the card to the latest firmware, and all is good. Oh, and a note to those (like me) that may not have memorized the data sheet for your motherboard -- on mine (MSI X670-P) the fourth PCIe slot is shared with the fourth M2 slot. So if you have several NVMe drives and that fourth slot is populated, nothing you put into the PCIe slot will work. Luckily I figured it out pretty quick and moved it, but it's something to look out for.

Has up to 10GBe transfer but will go down to 1GBe. Does not have all the options as a built-in LAN like wake on Lan but its okay for me

I bought this to create a direct link between my NAS and server. Server has 30TB of Data, when I transferred over the LAN for backup's....took 100 hours. When I added this card, took 15 hours, great purchase and worked amazing.

Just for info , The 10G-SFP-T rj4510gtek transceiver, works with the 10gtek XL710-10G-2S Dual Nic Card in 2022 windows server =)

Article fonctionne (attention, pas compatible avec tous les SFP+), mais emballage inadéquat: emballage etait percé, métal tordu, heureusement tout juste à côté de la carte même. Un meilleur emballage serait préférable.

J'avais déjà acheté cette carte en version Intel x540. Avec cette version (Intel x710) j'améliore amplement ma connexion internet. Très satisfait

Prodotto funziona, su scheda madre ASROCK RACK SPC621D8, VMware 7.0.3. verifiche arriva a 9/8Gbs di trasmissione.

So intel decided in the driver to not allow certain brands of SFP+ to work with their card. Also tons of weird linux driver errors out of the box, a firmware update from intel seems to have quieted all of them. I tried a SFP unlock tool from github however my one fs.com 10g copper SFP programmed for IND doesn't work. Card seems okay for a clone. we'll see how long it lasts. Packaging was good, included half height bracket, and the card was shipped quickly.
