- High performance PCIe dual 2.5G Ethernet adapter: PCIe to two-port 2.5G Ethernet network card that supports speeds of up to 2500 Mbps, enabling faster data transfers and improved network throughput. - Intelligent networking features: auto-negotiation capabilities and compatibility with NBASE- alliance PHY specifications. Includes hardware-based ECC, flow control, and multiple power-saving modes for reliability and energy efficiency in demanding environments. - Extensive network standard support: supports multiple Ethernet standards, including IEEE 802.3bz (2.5GBASE-T), IEEE 802.3az (Energy-Efficient Ethernet), IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, and IEEE 802.. This helps maintain device performance while promoting energy efficiency. - Flexible compatibility and easy integration: plug-and-play for many systems and platforms. Supported environments include Hackintosh, ESXi 6.7 (not compatible with 7.0), PVE, ikuai, unraid 6.9.2, and OpenWrt. For Linux, TrueNAS/FreeNAS, certain versions of OpenWrt, and older ikuai versions, driver installation may be required. - Suitable for a range of applications: ideal for upgrading existing workstations, servers, or NAS devices to 2.5G networking; supporting virtualization setups, high-speed data transfers to network storage, and demanding home or office networks. - Practical use scenarios: - Upgrading a workstation or small server to 2.5G connectivity for faster file access to a NAS or shared storage. - Enhancing a home lab or small virtualization environment with two independent 2.5G connections for improved traffic separation and throughput. - Integrating into compatible OpenWrt-based or Linux-based systems to expand high-speed network interfaces without replacing existing onboard NICs. - Design and form factor: PCIe network adapter with a PCIe interface and two 2.5G Ethernet ports, designed to fit standard PCIe slots in desktops, workstations, servers, and compatible network devices. While providing high performance, it remains suitable for energy-conscious deployments due to multiple power-saving modes and EEE support.
