100M/1000M/2.5G NIC Network Card, dual RJ-45 Port, with Realtek RTL8125BG Controller, Support Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Ubuntu/Centos/Vmware

Was looking for a 2.5gbe NIC that would work fine with Windows Server 2019 due to the 2 NICs built onto the motherboard not being compatible with Windows Server family (thanks Intel for purposely doing this so users are pushed towards proper server platforms instead of using a consumer one). The Realtek chipset used on this NIC installed without any hassle once got the drivers from Realtek’s global website. granted you will lose available PCIe lanes so may not be for someone that wants to keep 16 lanes for their GPU & multiple NVMe drives on a gaming rig, but general usage overheads are low and no worse than an onboard NIC (a lot of the cheaper NICs rely on software & the CPU to control traffic etc but this seems like a true hardware controlled NIC). Doesn’t seem to slow down under load either which a lot of cheaper cards can do as the controller gets hot, but this shouldn’t be a problem if got sufficient cooling in the case. Very happy with the performance of this NIC and will be buying more of them when required to either upgrade from Gigabit to 2.5gbe connectivity or replace a failed onboard NIC.

Easy to install, works really well and good value for money, what's not to like! Used in UnRaid server with 'RTL8125 Drivers' plugin and works flawlessly at 2.5gb/s

overall happy with the card but it doesnt work with esxi 8+ because the drivers aren't available in esxi anymore. good build quality and i get the advertised throughput.

Ordered this as I recently upgraded to 5GB FTTH, while i am slowly moving to 10gb networking in my home 2.5 is perfect for what i need at the moment. The card came well packed, in an antistatic bag and seems well built, also comes with two adapters depending on your style of case. it was compatible with my pc and the drivers downloaded instantly no messy setup , as you can see from the speed tests it functions as should , note i was uploading and downloading a lot of files during it Overall i would recommend it

Have been using this for months now and perfect….. if you want to upgrade your current 1GB but don’t want the expense of 10GB then this is the perfect choice….

Given my PC a 20x speed boost on backups to NAS

Works great plug and play.

the motherboard lan is so awkward to insert and remove the ethernet cable. Using the nic I now have easy access to the 2 ports, tested 1 port via 3 meter ethernet cable6e between 2 pcs speed was tested using ipef3 60 pings 3 were 2.38 Gbits and the rest were 2.37 Gbits, so not bad. Close to my expectation of 2.4Gbits. The other port will be used after an openreach visit. Under £40 worth it. PCIe slot easy to fit. Recieved today. An update if unit fails.

10Gtek Mini PCIe 2.5Gからドライバー入手しないと認識しないが、それ以外はちゃんと使えます。 難点と言えば、こういったタイプは仕方ないのかもしれないがリンクの表示LEDが無いこと。トラブル時の簡易的な手段が減った。

Réseau ethernet ok. Mettre le driver Realtek à jour depuis le site

Die Ausführung der Order kann man wirklich nicht bemängeln. Das PCB ist in Ordnung, da habe ich welten schlechteres bei Amazon bekommen. Schwämmchen für die Pins, Kugeln gegen den Regen, bruchsicher eingepackt, sollte normal sein, scheint aber nicht so. Das beigelegte Kabel ist zwar nicht 100% ideal und der zip tie etwas fummelig aber dafür gut isoliert, geeignet für den internen Verbau, wofür es ja gedacht ist. Entsprechend kein Blinklicht-Kabel für die Pins. Dennoch große und kurze Slotblende, schrauben und eine Nummer besser als der übliche Schraubendreher dabei. Stecker kann man nichts falsch machen, da ein Pin "fehlt", entsprechend am Stecker der Platz "zu " ist. Was möchte man mehr, ach ja, funktioniert es? Ja, die Karte kann ihre 2,5 gbit erreichen - Default aber zumindest hier noch keine Top-Leistung. Fairerweise habe ich zunächst aber nur schnell in meinem Prototyp getestet => pcie2 mainboard mit pcie auf mpcie adapter. root@CM3588:~# iperf3 -c 192.168.66.101 Connecting to host 192.168.66.101, port 5201 [ 5] local 192.168.66.217 port 57070 connected to 192.168.66.101 port 5201 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr Cwnd [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 282 MBytes 2.37 Gbits/sec 0 833 KBytes [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 280 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec 0 833 KBytes [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 280 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec 0 833 KBytes [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 280 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec 0 875 KBytes [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 280 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec 0 875 KBytes [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 281 MBytes 2.36 Gbits/sec 0 875 KBytes [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 280 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec 0 875 KBytes [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 278 MBytes 2.33 Gbits/sec 0 923 KBytes [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 280 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec 0 1000 KBytes [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 280 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec 0 1000 KBytes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 2.74 GBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec 0 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 2.73 GBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec receiver iperf Done. root@CM3588:~# iperf3 -c 192.168.66.101 -R -V iperf 3.12 Linux CM3588 6.1.25 #308 SMP Wed Jan 17 14:13:18 CST 2024 aarch64 Control connection MSS 1448 Time: Thu, 02 May 2024 12:22:16 GMT Connecting to host 192.168.66.101, port 5201 Reverse mode, remote host 192.168.66.101 is sending Cookie: 2tfpsffinfmgqeehfteq73ekjmzeooli4f2g TCP MSS: 1448 (default) [ 5] local 192.168.66.217 port 35914 connected to 192.168.66.101 port 5201 Starting Test: protocol: TCP, 1 streams, 131072 byte blocks, omitting 0 seconds, 10 second test, tos 0 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 212 MBytes 1.78 Gbits/sec [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 216 MBytes 1.81 Gbits/sec [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 217 MBytes 1.82 Gbits/sec [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 216 MBytes 1.81 Gbits/sec [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 215 MBytes 1.80 Gbits/sec [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 216 MBytes 1.81 Gbits/sec [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 216 MBytes 1.81 Gbits/sec [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 216 MBytes 1.81 Gbits/sec [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 216 MBytes 1.82 Gbits/sec [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 215 MBytes 1.81 Gbits/sec - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Test Complete.

funziona bene

Buena tarjeta para actualizar un portátil o un PC compacto a una mayor velocidad Se instala en un puerto PCIe, ojo que no es para otros puertos que se parecen mucho y están cerca en la placa base como el M.2, por ejemplo. Consigue la velocidad que anuncia, eso sí, si tu equipo no es muy antiguo y su arquitectura permite usar toda la velocidad, si no, no notaras diferencia de velocidad. Incluye ademas, los tornillos de fijación, un detalle que pocas tarjetas traen.
