Review on SI-PEX24059 - 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-E Networking Card 10/100/1000/25000 Mbps RJ45 LAN Interface by David Norwood

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Low profile bracket broken, returned

You'd think it would take the manufacturer about a minute to verify that the included low-profile bracket actually fits the included card, but unfortunately the state of quality control currently does this crap. As you can see from the picture, the low-profile bracket doesn't match the ethernet connector or the screw slots on the card itself, making it all the more noticeable when you see a regular bracket next to it. me as I can't install it on my HTPC.

Pros
  • This PCIe card allows you to add a 10/100/1000/25000Mbps Ethernet port to any PC through a PCIe slot. Fits any PCI Express x1, x2, x4, x8, or x16 slot; An optional 8 cm low-profile bracket allows installation in a small HTPC case.
Cons
  • New Competitors Have Arrived
