Review on 💻 CalDigit Connect 10G - Thunderbolt 3/4 to 10Gbps Ethernet Adapter for Mac and PC by Stephanie Rivera

I have to tag this adapter because there is no claim on their website or Amazon page for this device not supporting PXE boot (FYI, their Documentation is also not supported). For those unfamiliar with the term, PXE is short for Preboot Execution Environment. This allows you to boot into the NIC before the operating system loads and you can install the operating system from the NIC. I contacted CalDigit about PXE support and they replied that they don't support it and that they have no plans to support it in the future. I started a project to convert my 1GBE environment to a 10GBE environment for imaging computers. Luckily this is a small environment and I only bought 4 of these CalDigit NICS. The NIC on the MDT server works fine as no preboot environment is required, but the other 3 connecting to the clients must be used for another purpose.
