Works well with ProxMox
These work out of the box with ProxMox, no modification required at all and I'm achieveing the full 2.5gbit speeds with a TP-Link 2.5gbit 8nport switch.

Works okay, but you may need to update the Windows drivers.
Easy to install on a Windows 10 machine (64 bit), but in my case had to download updated drivers from the Realtek site. The network card didn't handle my PC hibernating too well. Seems okay now.

Good 10gbe network card with a good brand however, would be nice if it was black.
Windows 11 immediately detected the 10gbe card. It comes with Cat 6a ethernet cable with is nice extra. There is a micro DVD disc included but, I had no issues with windows detecting the card however, could be useful if issues detecting the card or no internet connection. Both Low-Profile and Full-Height brackets is included. Issue is that the network card can run hot but, that is common for 10gbe cards so good airflow is needed. The colour tp-link choose is odd personal as red heatsink is quite noticeable in my all black computer as everything from GPU to motherboard, and CPU heatsink is all black. Personal I would think a all black network card would be far better. Overall it is good 10gbe network card with a good brand however, would be nice if it was black.

TP-Link TX201 2.5 Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet Network Adapter, Low-Profile and Full-Height
This network adapter just works , easy to install and I'm getting fast speeds without any issues. The fact that it supports low,profile and full,height brackets is super convenient for me since my PC case has limited space. What really stood out though was how versatile the compatibility is , works smoothly with Windows 11 and Linux, which is exactly what I needed.

This WiFi card works perfectly in my custom build—everything fit together easily with no issues. The magnetic base is a great touch and keeps the antenna firmly in place on my metal desk without slipping. The overall quality feels great. Nothing about it feels cheap—the cables are solid and durable, and the build feels like it’ll last a long time. Performance-wise, it’s impressive. My internet speeds are almost identical to my wired Ethernet connection, with only a tiny drop in speed. For the price, this card performs just as well as (or better than) more expensive brands. If you’re looking for a high-quality, durable, and fast WiFi card with a convenient cable length and strong design, this is an amazing value!

Habe diese Karte nach schlechten Erfahrungen mit einer Variante von Asus gekauft. Auf dieser TP-Link TX401 ist noch der alte AQC107 Controller drauf. Positiv: + Gute Verarbeitungsqualität + ASPM unterstützt und kodiert + EEE funktioniert einwandfrei, einschließlich EDPD + 10 Gbit/s werden in beide Richtungen erreicht (unter Linux und Windows) + LP-Slotblende dabei + Cat 6a Kabel dabei Negativ: - Windows und Linux erkennen hohe Exit-Latenzen (>64us) für ASPM Standby-Zustände und wollen diese daher standardmäßig nicht aktivieren. Alles in allem eine gute 10G-Karte zu einem verträglichen Preis.
