please understand hardware and networking before posting a review
What can I say, it works as intended. I’ve got 2 of these: one is in an Ubuntu 22.04 server (an old 4770 i7 machine) and the second and Arch Desktop (a ryzen 3900x). Both recognized the cards immediately and set their speeds appropriately with auto-negotiate enabled. Both machines are connected through a 10g copper port switch connected to an OPNsense router (1520 XeonD) with a 10g port.People trying to speed test these with file transfers are going about it the wrong way ad will never see the total throughput because of drive read/write speeds and protocol limitations of the chosen share method (i.e. SMB).The easiest and truest method to test is to run iperf3 as a server on a machine with a 10g interface, on the second machine run an iperf3 test as a client to your machine. BUT that will not really give you the actual result you want, as standard iperf3 tests are run as a single process and will probably cap out around 2-4 gigs. You need to run the client with the -P option to enable more processes, I typically use 10.Example:on the server end:iperf3 -son the client end:iperf3 -c (ip of the server) -P 10iperf3 -c (ip of the server) -P 10 -RThat gives me the output that I would expect to see, typically in the 8.4 – 9.4 gig range. Also be sure to run it in reverse as well with the -R option the second time.The cards work exactly as intended for 10g, though admittedly I have not tried 2.5g or just standard 1g because I haven’t the need to. And 5 gig is incredibly uncommon to find so I won’t bother with it.I’ve attached 3 screenshots to show you the results of the 3 iperf3 tests I mentioned. The first pic is if you run iperf3 -c (ip of server) and caps out at 3.73gsecond is iperf3 -c (ip of server) -P 10 and caps at 9.34gthird is iperf3 -c (ip of server) -P 10 -R and caps at 9.37gBTW I should note that I’m not actually using Cat6a for any of these machines. I’m actually using standard cat5e, but the lengths are less than 10 feet. If I had to go longer or started to notice issues, I’d up it to cat6a but it’s not always necessary. Just an FYI

Loving the speed increase.
Installation was a breeze, taking just about 8 minutes without any errors. I’m thrilled with the increased speeds and would definitely purchase this product again. Windows 10 user here.

Doesn’t transfer at 10 gig..WAIT I WAS WRONG! 🙁
I installed both cards on ubuntu 20.04 through a mikrotik 10gig switch and windows 10. It starts out transferring at 240MB and then drops below 1 gig. I have auto turned on, then manually turned it 10g, the light doesn’t switch to amber – stays green which means 1 GIG. I have cat 8 cabling, tried 7, still nothing above 240 and it only lasts temporarily. Ubuntu said wrong driver at first, but both windows and ubuntu show Aquantia drivers. Everyone on here is happy that it transfers at 1 gig but it should be transferring at 10GIG if you have 10 gig setup..UPDATE:First I want to say that I was ignorant In setting this up and not underdstanding the complete extent of high speed data and hardware compatibility. So I figured something out :Set a folder up and specially give it a. Different IP address and subnet. 1.1.1.1 with 255.255.255.252 no gateway no dns. Computer you are transferring files from set it 1.1.1.2 with 252 subnet. Now share a folder with that IP address NOT the name of the computer. Windows will use the slowest connection as itâs method of transferring. 1 gig internet connection should be set up normally. Get yourself SSD DRIVES. On both computers I went from 95-104 MB from 7200 internal to 7200 internal. I copied files over to ssd and transferred to a 7200 hd. Now Iâm getting 240MB speeds ! I have a ssd in order which should give me 500-600MB speeds. Remember it can only transfer as fast as your hardware can accept it and windows or Mac will always use the slowest speed hardware. By separating the 10GIG cards in a different subnet and naming the folder \1.1.1.1test will give you the speeds. Of course our hardware is not set up for 10GIG yet but achieving 6-8 gigs is feasible for large transfers of video files. So Iâm leaving my original review plus this to show that anyone can make this mistake and mess it up. Use cat 8 if possible but if not cat 7 works really well.

Solid performance after a firmware update
I’m using these Marvell AQC107 based cards in two Linux machines on my home network. Network throughput initially varied widely during large file transfers between these two machines. While troubleshooting, I learned that both cards were shipped with out-of-date/buggy firmware (v3.1.58) vice the latest/greatest firmware currently available on Marvell’s website (v3.1.121a). I pulled the cards from my Linux machines, installed them in a Windows machine, updated the firmware via the included utility, and then reinstalled them in my Linux machines. Network throughput is now rock solid stable and only limited by the bandwidth of my storage devices.

Might not work for you
Bought two of these for Windows 11 computers.They work with low loads. Tried Firmware updates, Different Drivers, latest/oldest.Purchased an Intel 10Gb and have had no issues.There are plenty of forum posts that report issues with Marell AQtion hardware.

Easy HomeServer upgrade!
I purchased this 10Gb NIC to upgrade the Ethernet connectivity of my HomeServer.Windows 10 Pro did not initially pick up a functioning driver, so I downloaded the drivers directly from TrendNet.Even after that, my UniFi Dream Machine Pro, using an SFP+ 10Gb transceiver, wouldn’t auto-negotiate a 10G link with this card, instead falling back to 1Gb. I found that manually setting the switch port on the UDM-Pro to 10Gb Full-Duplex did the trick, though. Since installation and setup this card has been smooth sailing.Overall I’d say this card is a decent value. It gets the job done without much fuss. Would buy again.

No need to spends hundreds of $ to get stable 10Gbps. This adapter does the job flawlessly. iperf3 gives me a the full 10Gbps duplex with near zero CPU usage.

Arrived with full hight bracket mounted and half hight in the box. Easy swap.Works well in booth 2.5 Gbps and 10 Gbps mode.Pushes speed jus fine with iperf.Works well with 9k jumbo frames (could not test 16k since i have nothing at the other end that support it..)

Iâm using this in a server environment for a 10GbE link directly to my NAS. Iâm yet to experience the full 10GbE speeds but Iâm throttled by the drives in the NAS, achieved 1.5GbE read/write on both NAS drives simultaneously thoughWindows sees a 10Gb link though, so I see no issues so far.I will update once I achieve full 10GbE speeds
