Customers are mixed about the performance of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention that it has zero issues and provides great speed and throughput. However, others say that it quit working unexpectedly and crashed their home server. The performance is very poor as compared to their previous 10G Aquantia nic card, and the system kept locking up.

Customers are mixed about the recognition of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention that it was immediately recognized and received an IP, while others say that it wasn't recognized in their server or desktop.

"...Surprisingly, my Windows 11 desktop didn't recognize it automatically. I had to download drivers from Intel...." Read more

"...It has worked perfectly and the QNAP TS-473A NAS has had no problem recognizing it...." Read more

"...I only gave it 4 stars because Windows would not recognize the card automatically and I had to DL and install the drivers...." Read more

"...I plugged it in, powered it up, and it was immediately recognized and received an IP. Zero issues for a complete plug and play solution...." Read more

8 customers mention3 positive5 negative

Customers are mixed about the heat of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention that it runs quite hot, while others say that half of them overheated within 10 minutes of using them in their system. The X540 is an old chipset that runs hot, and it's sensitive to overheating without enough airflow.

"...I had a larger case, but not enough airflow, and the card would overheat when I was playing a game...." Read more

"...Does what it says, runs hot. Large packet loss when bonded, however." Read more

"...Haven't tried a Linux distro on it. I will say that it runs VERY hot. In my freenas mini, it is definitely the major source of heat...." Read more

"...Heatsink temp seems reasonable with fairly low airflow, it should stay cool in a case with some attention paid to airflow...." Read more

I had a lot of problems with other nics in my HP Z230. Realtech chips appeared to break the bios startup, but these intel chips appear to solve the problem. I'm using a QNap switch with 10 GBe SFP+ and getting the full speed...it's amazing.

Works well for me

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2020

Size: X1Color: X550-10G-2T(2xRJ45)Verified Purchase

This review is for the 10GTek X550-T2 (PCIe 3.0) card, not the X540-T2 (PCIe 2.1), though I suspect that the same performance would be seen with the X540-T2.

This card works great for me!

I bought 3 of these NICs and a Netgear 10gbps switch (XS708T) as I was tired of my 4x1gbps (Intel Pro 1000 PT NICs) Windows 10 auto aggregated links dropping to 1gbps due to MS dropping support for the automatic aggregation that they accidentally added into Win10 a few years ago. MS pulled this very nice (accidental) support and I was back to 1gbps without doing full switch configured LACP aggregation. I got really tired of backing up 45TB on a 1gbps connection. So I threw $ at the problem and hope to be good until 40gbps, someday.

These NICs works well for me via single port (9.9gbps) or dual port with aggregation (> 10gbps).
I am running this on Windows 10 Pro and Workstation with the standard (Windows Update) drivers that were automatically installed.

Testing
I have tested with iPerf3 and even with single, a few or many threads, it is very hard to saturate the connection and show > 5gbps. So for me, iPerf3 just won't do.
I now test by performing long running SSD to SSD tests through a Netgear 10gbps router which shows me hitting 10gbps (and greater with dual ports and aggregation).

Real World Feel for my daily workflow
I have also tested my heavy Visual Studio work flow with my solutions and projects running on SSD on an older 7700k system and the connection seems very snappy, barely noticeable from my main local storage which is 3x Win10 stripped NVMe (Samsun 970 Evo Plus) 1TB drives, where I get 7GB/s sequential block performance and snappy small random block performance. I suspect that if I use this NIC on a mid-high-end NAS with 10gbit NIC that I will be satisfied with the perf of my workload (lots of small files). I will update this review if I am able to test that in the future.

Windows 10 auto link aggregation (just plug multiple single-machine Cat5/6 cables to your switch)
As of recently (this NIC or Intel Pro 1000 PT) I _DO_NOT_ see automatic aggregation with Windows 10 Pro, but I _DO_ see automatic Win 10 aggregation (this NIC or Intel Pro 1000 PT) after upgrading my Windows 10 Pro servers to Windows 10 Workstation (I don't use Windows Server). I see spill-over behavior where when the one port is saturated (10gbps) then the 2nd port starts taking on any addition load (I have only gone to about 13gbps) . The only reason I upgraded to "Workstation" is that I have plenty of OS keys from MSDN, so why not try it - it worked. Not sure if you would get the same same result - so don't assume.

I will keep using these NICs unless I see a reason to not to (which I would add to this review).

Nothing special about a 10Gb network card but I HIGHLY recommend getting one with 2 ports instead of just one. I only gave it 4 stars because Windows would not recognize the card automatically and I had to DL and install the drivers. No biggie and that was the only "issue".

Drivers for Windows 11 had to be installed manually, but works great.

Typical NIC, Failed within Months

Dual 10Gbps X550-AT2 variant here. Everything went well, the install, setup, etc. But it quit working unexpectedly, and it crashed my home server. Tech support has not responded after a couple of attempts, and several days of waiting.

X520-10G-1S(1xSFP+) works perfectly in a Synology 1821+

The X520-10G-1S(1xSFP+) worked beautifully in a Synology 1821+, plug and play, no issues. Ditto for a Linux desktop running Ubuntu 23.x.

Surprisingly, my Windows 11 desktop didn't recognize it automatically. I had to download drivers from Intel. Even then, after installing the setup file for the drivers, it still was unrecognized. I ended up using winrar to extract the contents of the setup file, then pointed Device Manager there and that worked.

Overall, these have been working very well and are a great value. The throughput is excellent. Attached is a screenshot of iPerf.

after a decent wait finally gotten this 10gbe nic card. however I purchased this because there's a fan but the product sent was w/o a fan and purely heatsink. felt cheated or rather disappointed because we all know the heatsink w/o the fan, may not be as efficient.

Fast card. Lots of features.

Had trouble at first as this is a HBA type of card instead of a straight NIC. Found a slot that worked though.

Very fast with lots of options. Auto detected in windows 10 and installed the drivers automagically. Not a typo :) I went to the Intel website and used those driver. Just a minor face change to the settings on device manager.

This card is ace. Great price. Just get it. Though, if you've had issues with HBA cards before then be careful as it might not work for you. For example, I have a sata card that I just can't get working in this PC. It worked in my old machine. I think most pcie slots expect simple devices. This card is quite complex. If in doubt, but the more expensive simple NIC type cards.

Zero issues. Well priced compared to other intel X550 cards.

Works perfectly. Downloaded driver from intel site. Functions identically to other intel X550 cards which are much more expensive. If you have a PCIx8 available the X540 is better priced and the same performance(except less power efficiency) but I only had a x4 slot. The Aquantia AQC107 cards are also x4 and much cheaper but their performance is bad unless you enable jumbo frames which isn't supported by my router, and latency & jitter & impracticality of configuring every device makes me question if it would be worth enabling even if it did.

Buona scheda anche se di vecchia generazione

Reviewed in Italy on February 18, 2024

Size: X1Color: X520-10G-2S(2xSFP+)Verified Purchase

Funziona regolarmente, anche se richiede uno slot almeno PCI-E X8 essendo di una vecchia generazione di chipset Intel PCI-E 2.0.
Nella mia motherboard (MSI MEG X570 UNIFY) inserita in uno slot X16 libero causa una riduzione della velocità dello slot dedicato alla scheda video da X16 a X8, in quanto la CPU non ha abbastanza linee PCIE per una configurazione PCIE X16 su 2 slot in contemporanea. Quindi valutate bene gli slot a disposizione e il manuale della vostra motherboard.
