ipolex 10GbE Intel X520-DA1 82599ES Chipset Ethernet Converged Network Adapter NIC Single SFP Port PCI Express 2.0 X8 Intel X540-T1 (1xRJ45 port)

Works perfectly. The difference in speed between this card and a gigabyte card is incredible. It was easy to install, and I was able to download and install the drivers for it without a problem.

Worked great until a lightning strike sent a power surge through the cable and blew up the RJ45 port

Es una excelente tarjeta, muy bien acabada, pero para los sistemas debian no es facil de reconocer o no lo reconoce, lo compre para el NAS, y no lo reconoce, en windows perfectamente!

I purchased this for my TrueNAS machine and it didn't work for me. It's entirely possible it was due to the 2.5gbe switch I had it connected to. Maybe it only does 1gbe or 10gbe? Card was recognized just fine and I had blinky lights when I connected it to my switch. I could not get an IP using DHCP or setting it manually. I did not try this card while running Windows so I can't comment on that.

I inspected the NIC and seems like it was brand new. No dust, the PCB is nice and clean. I've been using this on my Proxmox server and its been working like a Gem. I've also used this on a Xenserver and works well with it as well.
