Does exactly what it needs to.

- Blazing fast - Great price for 10Gb NIC... I've been waiting a long time.

- Intel card works with every device NIC I have with no issues - Worked at 1, 2.5 and 10GB for me with no issues - two ports - Can team depending on the OS

Windows 10 Pro support VLANS Jumbo Frames More ports than i could ever use.

The obvious question is why one would purchase this card over the far cheaper options. Generic 1Gbps NICs can be had for just over a tenth the cost, while Intel's desktop varieties run less than half the price of this card. Leaving aside the cheapest cards - ones I've found to cause more problems with data corruption and reliability than it's worth - the main reason to go with a server card is if you will be loading it heavily. If you're running your own datacenter, power-saving features such as EEE and DMA coalescing are handy, but that likely doesn't apply to most potential customers for this NIC. The I210T1 does an even better job at offloading calculations than previous generation NICs.Saturate a full 1Gbps connection with multiple streams and you'll see CPU usage drop in comparison to what it is with desktop cards. We put this card in a workstation to replace the on-board Realtek NIC. System CPU time dropped by 20-30% under very heavy network loads after switching to the I210T1. Another benefit to the I210T1 - and a possible reason to upgrade to this new model - is Audio Video Bridging (AVB) support. When working on projects where multiple media streams need to be perfectly synchronized, AVB worked wonders. Older NICs simply could not keep everything synced perfectly. We needed to work on 10Gbps connections instead. Being able to accomplish the same feat with a much cheaper card is great! The I210T1 is tiny. It fits easily even in systems with bulging heatsinks and video cards.

it works with Windows 10, it won't be the bottleneck at either the bus or the switch, so you can focus on troubleshooting other things, it's tiny yet solid and fits in a very tight x1 slot.

Works with the "UF-MM-10G Multi-Mode Fiber, 10 Gbps SFP+" and the Ubiquiti switch. 10x faster than 1G. Works with linux.

Smoking Fast on the Surface Pro for when you need wired connections. Get Full Gigabit throughput. (110MB+/Sec) Windows 8 installed drivers automatically.

Extremely pleased with these, but I did my homework before purchasing. They compose a VMware vSphere 5 storage network. 2x Dell 8024F switches 5x Dell R710s with one of these cards in each server (ESXi 5 hosts) 1x Dell c2100 Server running NFS off of Nexenta CE 3.1.3 with 2 of these cards in it (one PCI based as sold here and another that is a mezzanine card) for an aggregate 40Gbps throughput to/from the SAN. tons of Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU3M/SFP-H10GB-CU1M cables used for connectivity. These were chosen for compatibility/reliability as we planned to build our own SAN solution after pricing every storage vendor we could fathom. We ended up spending a fraction of the quotes we were offered and got more for our $. Shipping as always was remarkably fast w/ NewEgg.

Doesn't require any weird pro-grade server backplanes to connect, just a regular PCI Express slot If drivers are needed, they can be downloaded as a bundle beforehand and installed offline SFP+ ports accept a few varieties of transceiver, so you don't even need to replace your ethernet wiring to use this
