Designed for professional and demanding environments, it supports multiple Ethernet standards and VLAN tagging, ensuring compatibility across Windows and Linux systems. Its compact low-profile design makes it ideal for small form factor builds, providing a future-proof solution to eliminate network bottlenecks and enhance data transfer performance. ## Description This is an 10G ethernet card which offers significantly faster data transfer speeds compared to a standard gigabit ethernet card, allowing for smoother handling of large data files, improved network performance for demanding applications like video streaming or high-resolution graphics, and better scalability to accommodate growing network needs, all while minimizing data bottlenecks in high-traffic environments. Review: Does its job well - This is the only only 10Gb PCIe x1 NIC I could find but it works great so far. This works out of the box on Windows 11. I was pleasantly surprised to see a significant decrease in my loaded upload latency compared to the onboard NIC I've been using. It dropped from around 50ms down to 3ms. For some reason my loaded download latency increased from around 3ms to 11ms with this card but that's a trade-off I'm happy to make. With this I'm finally able to take full advantage of my 5Gb fiber internet. Review: High power consumption, Lacks even basic PCIe power management features (No PCIe ASPM L1) - This product does not support even basic PCIe power management technologies, such as PCIe ASPM L1. As such it can easily triple the power consumption of the computer it's installed in, by preventing the entire computer from entering lower sleep states. With this card installed my computer cannot go any lower than the C3 package cstate. Without the card installed it can stay in the C10 package cstate, which is the lowest power state. The chipset used in this card (ACQ113) can support PCIe ASPM L1 and the lower power PCIe L1.1 and L1.2 substates, but the card advertisers it cannot support them. As such this adapter is not functional for low power use cases. Suggest looking elsewhere if you need a low power 10 Gbps ethernet adapter.

Works great on 6x kernels. 600MB/s to and from my TruNAS machine running four Hitachi 10TB platter drives in zraid. Performance is steady and stable. EDIT Nov.25 Updated to 1 star. Less if I could. I've had two of these burn out this year and had to return them. Still recognized as present but fail to connect or get an IP. Real pain too because I have to remove my 4090 bracket to remove the card. Truly happy this works because it's the only x1 card I could find. Most of my board is blocked off by my RTX4090 and brace. Only other exposed slot is x8 but it has a card with 4x m.2 nvme drives on it. EDIT 8/16/2025 The card lasted less than three weeks and died. Does not recognize that a cable is even plugged in. I bought two and the second is working in place of the failed nic. We will see how long that lasts. ## Frequently Bought Together - Single Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-e x1 Network Card - 10Gtek 10Gb PCI-E NIC Network Card, Single SFP+ Port, with Intel 82599EN Controller, Ethernet LAN Adapter Support Windows Server/Linux/VMware, Compare to Intel X520-DA1(E10G42BTDA) - TRENDnet 6-Port 10G Switch, 4 x 2.5G RJ-45 Base-T Ports, 2 x 10G RJ-45 Ports, 60Gbps Switching Capacity, Wall Mountable, 10 Gigabit Network Connections, Lifetime Protection, Black, TEG-S762 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/697432410-single-port-10-gigabit-ethernet-pci-e-x1-network-card](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/697432410-single-port-10-gigabit-ethernet-pci-e-x1-network-card) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-03*
