10 Gbps Lan Card

Thunderbolt 3 and 4 are both 40 Gbps connections. Thunderbolt 4 is designed so that the hub supports one 10 GBPs PCIe (which is all the USB and other ports), and up to 3 downstream Thunderbolt ports, sharing the remaining 30 GBPs. If you want to attach ultra-fast SSD storage, this technology tops out at 10 GBPs for the storage, and a Thunderbolt 3 hub would be better. The two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs can support up to 30 GBPs of video, but you’ll quickly run out of bandwidth with multiple 4K or 5K displays. This is why some people complain about driving 3 external displays (or even two!). The 40 Gbps total of a single Thunderbolt connection from your computer can’t necessarily support it. On the plus side, if you have reasonable expectations, this hub or a Thunderbolt 3 hub will deliver outstanding single-cable connectivity between your laptop and all your devices.

Using a ProGrade gold card I got 1.8/Gbps using a USB4 port

I had some issues using the Volt 176 with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) ports and I think it was causing the inconsistent playback/distortion. The two older USB 3.2 Gen 1 port (5 Gbps) work with this interface with no issues. Overall sound quality is decent for the price, the only downside is the lack of clean gain for dynamic mics so you may need a booster depending on which model you have.

Ubnt offers a great 10 Gbps switch cheap compared to the RJ45 Netgear which easily stats around $1,500 for the same amount of ports. So far the switch has been great and I would recommend this switch to anyone looking for a great 10 Gbps switch.

I purchased this to take advantage of my 3Gbps connection, my X670E Tomahawk does 2.5gGbps and I would see 2.3gbps upload/download during a speedtest.net, upon placing this card in the bottom slot and installing the driver I was back up and running in under 10 minutes on Windows 11. Now my internet connection does 3.2gbps without any downsides thanks to the gen 4 connection. I would recommend this card it was very easy to get running on W11.

This works with pfSense v 2.6.0 and solved all of my issues. I was using a 10GB fiber card, which I thought was working fine until my ISP raised my upload speed. I was getting 1.4 Gbps down and 35 Mbps up, but was increased to 1.4 Gbps down and 240 Mbps up. The issue had to do with data coming in to PfSense from my 10GB switch and queuing; I never had an issue getting all of my download speed, and I was getting all of my 35 Mbps up. After the upgrade, my upload speed didn't increase, and actually went down a bit. Research led me to getting a 2.5 Gbps card for my pfSense router, and this card indeed solved by issue. Didn't need to do anything with drivers as of pfSense 2.6+, though as I understand it, drivers for the intel i225 chipset are an issue prior to 2.6.0. I have my WAN port connected to my Xfinity XB8 modem on the sole 2.5Gb port. The LAN interface is connected to my Mikrotik CRS-305 10Gb switch. Finding the right transceiver was an issue. The first 2 transceivers, one being a 10Gb RJ45 and the other being a 2.5Gb RJ45, did not work. I ultimately had success with the MikroTik S+RJ10 transceiver, which auto-negotiated at 2.5Gb immediately when connected to this Qnap card. Hopefully if anyone else is looking to do a similar setup with a Mikrotik switch to get a 10Gb LAN with a lesser multi-gig ISP, my review is helpful.

It does not have 10 Gb LAN , so it will not replace your RAID DAS and you won't edit videos out of it, but it is fast and responsive as a backup, media server, and as an alternative to cloud services to send your work to clients... (if you have a parallel Gb fiber connection :-) And yes, it accepts more or less any brand as media.

10Gbps speed is well worth it. Great purchase, great price, amazing B&H.

I never see that perfect LAN

The card works as described on my windows 10 machine.
