Vogzone Gigabit 4 RJ45 Ports NIC with Intel I350 Chip,1.25Gb Network Card Compare to Intel I350-T4 NIC, PCI-E 2.1 X4 Ethernet Card for Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Freebsd/VMware ESXi

Bought 2 of these quad port NICs, only 1 of the cards are working.

This product is a Network Interface Card adapter, designed for RJ45 Ethernet cable connections and compatible with PCI Express (PCIe) in servers or desktop computers. In my testing, I successfully installed it in a Dell Blade Server running VMware ESXi 7, where it demonstrated full compatibility. The bandwidth speeds were impressive, nearly reaching a gigabit per second, which is quite efficient for the network segment it operates in. This adapter breathed new life into an outdated rack server in my Virtual Private data center - lab. While I haven't directly compared this card's performance with a pure Intel chipset board, I am thoroughly satisfied with its quality and functionality. The card is professionally manufactured, and I've experienced no issues regarding stability or speed. I highly recommend this product for its excellent price and reliable performance.

I do a lot of home-server tinkering, and this card went directly into a Proxmox virtualized OPNsense router build that I've been meaning to complete for months. Specifically, this fits in my Lenovo m720q MiniPC with a small PCI-e adapter. Both the Debian based Proxmox, and the BSD based OPNsense recognized this ethernet card immediately, with no additional drivers needed. I have been pleased with the 1gig speeds for my local LAN, but can already see I need to upgrade my home network to 5gig or 10gig speeds because of the size of my video file library. If you are building a home router and your LAN is still using 1gig, then I highly recommend this ethernet card. It is very small and does not seem to get hot.

I installed this on the not-so-new PC I set up in the entertainment room at our new family vacation site so that my brother could enjoy his games without complaining. (He’s a professional gamer and complains about everything at the new place, so I proactively requested this to set it up.) We don’t go up to the vacation site often, but so far it’s been working well for the past 5 months without any issues.

This is not a product I would normally use, but my son and I are building a server and incorporated this into our build. This is a nice board... does what it says it will do. The overall quality seems good and the measured speeds are what we had hoped for. For what you get, this is fairly priced.
