## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: This is working fine but.. Read this before you buy. ESXi? - Bought this in 2021, and This card is still working fine (2023 FEB). Getting 10Gbps speed? No problem. No OverHeating problems like Old 10GbE NICs No Driver installation is required for Windows, Linux, and BSD. Things you need to do. The device Firmware needs to update. (Get the driver update utility from Marvell for aqc107 type) Don't use TP-Link Old Driver. (Windows 11 Ships Newer Driver!) Tested with Both iPerf and OpenSpeedTest-Server! Continuous SpeedTest for 1 hour! It never dropped the speed. Problems The FreeBSD driver is Alpha Quality. There will be a significant drop-in Speed. It is not recommended for Production. ESXi VMs may experience connectivity issues it will automatically work after a Host Restart. This is not recommended for ESXi but ok for HomeLab, and you can restart Host anytime. Out-of-the-box speed. Windows 10 and 11 9400+ Ubuntu 9500+ Unraid 9800+ Esxi host 9500+ FreeBSD 9400. For continuous speed tests using OpenSpeedTest, it dropped to 5400 & 7400. The driver for FreeBSD is really bad. It may get better after some time, but when I tested it, that wasn't good. If you change the MTU size to 9000 you will get more speed.
Review: Bought two. Works well so far. Chipset is Aquantia 107 - I bough two of these TX401 to establish a 10 GbE connection b/w my workstation and NAS. My workstation is primarily a hackintosh with windows for gaming while the NAS is a self-assembled unit on Ryzen 5 3600 + B450 running Ubuntu 20.04 on ZFS. The chipset on the device is Aquantia AQC(N?)107. Both the NAS and the workstation have independent 1 GbE connectivity to the rest of the devices via a router. macOS and Ubuntu 20.04 have out of the box support. macOS will require spoofing to pretend that this is an authorized card. Windows 10 will require driver installation. I connect the two devices directly using the included cable for 10 GbE and do not route the connection via a router or switch. iPerf 3 can easily saturate the link to 9.5 Gbps. I ran the test for 60 minutes and this card did not hiccup at all. Temps were also fine at 50-60C in a corsair 400R and a Fractal Design Define 7. Though that still bears caution because this test was done in winters when ambient is <20C. Summers will decide on whether the thermal design of this card is good or bad. I also ran a disk speed test from my workstation to a SATA SSD (850 Evo) in the NAS and the connection easily maintained 450 MBps+. All in all - very good. Cheapest and easily available 10 GbE NIC in India. Longevity still remains a question because I have had both the card for less than a month.

## Features

- 10 Gbps Networking —— Combined with the latest 10GBase-T Technology, TX401 delivers extreme speeds of up to 10 Gbps, which is 10× faster than typical Gigabit adapters, guaranteeing smooth data transmissions for both internet access and local data transmissions.
- Versatile Compatibility —— With extreme speed and ultra-low latency, 10GBase-T is backwards compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, automatically negotiating between higher and lower speed connections.
- CAT6A Ethernet Cable —— To maximize TX401's performance, a 1.5 m CAT6A Ethernet Cable is included—rated for up to 10 Gbps while a regular cable is only rated for 1 Gbps.
- Low-Profile and Full-Height Brackets —— In addition to the standard bracket, a low-profile bracket is provided for mini tower computer cases. Customized options give you the flexibility to find a bracket that perfectly fits your board design.
- Comprehensive System Support —— Fully compatible with Windows 10/8.1/8/7, Windows Servers 2019/2016/2012 R2, and Linux to meet your diverse operating system needs.
