## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great NIC
*by A***R on October 23, 2025*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great until power surge through the cable
*by J***R on September 8, 2025*

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

### ⭐⭐⭐ I couldn't get it working in TrueNAS Scale
*by C***E on November 22, 2023*

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.
