Review: Works Wonderfully with the Correct Switch - UPDATED REVIEW (as of December 17, 2015): This NIC runs incredibly fast and stable when paired with a 10G switch and Cat-6 cables. The switch I used was the Netgear XS708E 8-Port 10G Ethernet Switch (http://www.desertcart.com/dp/B00B46AEE6), which wsa the most affordable 10G switch I could find. When also coupled with a RAID 5 or 1/0 array of disks, I've seen network I/O more than double its previous performance, and that only being limited by the disk I/O performance at each end of the stream. Highly recommend this, or the related single-port NIC. (NOTE: this is an update review from the original post below that had been posted on May 12, 2015.) _____________________ Subject: Kind of Works -- But Very Finicky It can work, but has some issues with link speed. I haven't yet purchased the 10Gb switch, and have it connected to a 10/100/1000 D-Link switch. When I first installed it, it took a minute or so, but linked up at 1 Gbps speeds. However, any time I either temporarily unplug a cable, or power-cycle the switch, it sits at 100 Mbps for days on end before re-establishing a 1 Gbps link speed. And if I specify to use a 1 Gbps speed, it stops working altogether for some reason. This is the most finicky / temperamental NIC I've ever owned. I'm hoping that it will behave better once I invest in the 10 Gb switch from Netgear! Review: It works! - Got it for my Synology 1817+. Works as advertised. I’m also not an idiot so do with that what you will. ## Features - Low cost, low power, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) performance for the entire data center - Standard CAT-6a cabling with RJ45 connectors - Backward compatibility with existing 1000Base-T networks simplifies the transition to 10GbE - Flexible I/O virtualization for port partitioning and quality of service (QoS) of up to 64 virtual ports - Unified Networking Delivering Lan, Iscsi, And Fcoe In One Low Cost Cna - Industry First Dual-Port 10Gbase-T Adapter With Single-Chip Solution With Integrated Mac + Phy - Reliable and proven 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology from Intel corporation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0077CS9UM | | Best Sellers Rank | #330 in Internal Computer Networking Cards | | Brand | Intel | | Built-In Media | Computer Peripherals^Network Adapters^Network Card Adapters | | Color | multicolor | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 58 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Ethernet , Gigabit Ethernet | | Data Transfer Rate | 10000 Megabits Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00675901103022, 05032037033831 | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet | | Item Part Number | X540T2 | | Item Type Name | Intel Corp X540T2 Converged Network Adapt T2 | | Item Weight | 0.26 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Intel | | Mfr Part Number | X540T2 | | Model Number | X540T2 | | UPC | 675901103022 735858239066 069060103922 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **Hardware Interface:** Ethernet - **Color:** multicolor - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Data Link Protocol:** Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet - **Data Transfer Rate:** 10000 Megabits Per Second - **Item Weight:** 0.26 Kilograms - **UPC:** 675901103022 735858239066 069060103922 - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00675901103022, 05032037033831 - **Manufacturer:** Intel ## Images ![Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540T2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jwAh+JM0L.jpg) ![Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540T2 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71C9ZG-7K8L.jpg) ![Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540T2 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/419yd-nW00L.jpg) ![Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540T2 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BPqYNj2pL.jpg) ![Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540T2 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512DyIBsNIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Wonderfully with the Correct Switch *by R***R on May 13, 2015* UPDATED REVIEW (as of December 17, 2015): This NIC runs incredibly fast and stable when paired with a 10G switch and Cat-6 cables.

I’m also not an idiot so do with that what you will. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genuine Intel *by P***N on April 9, 2022* The company originally sent me the x520-DA and not the X540-T2 I had ordered. I returned it and waited for the new one to arrive. I was happy when the new one was the correct card and also genuine. I went to intel and grabbed the latest drivers. The ones from Win update are from 2016. I have added them to a team and they are getting expected speeds. Would rate the card A+ ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Corp X540T2 Converged Network Adapt T2 - Arctic Silver 5 AS5-3.5G Thermal Paste,Black, Grey - Samsung 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
