Review on πŸ”Œ Enhanced Syba I/O Crest SI-MPE24046 2-Port Gigabit Mini PCI-e Ethernet Network Interface Card by Andrew Pickering

Revainrating 2 out of 5

GENERAL BRAND, NOT Syba. WORKS GREAT

I was disappointed to see that the Syba branded product I had purchased turned out to be a standard model of the same type of card. This does not inspire trust in the supplier. The card seems to be working fine and I was able to get updated drivers from the RealTek website. I have visually confirmed that these are the RTL8111E chips I was looking for. They support advanced features like jumbo frames and support for dedicated virtual machines. As it works great for my application on my system I would give it 5 stars but I don't like buying a different brand than I thought I would. If they had mentioned it in the product description I probably would have been pleased. As I said, mine works perfectly. But I can't say what you will get if you buy this product. Two stars are lost in this rating because it's not the brand I ordered, even though the card is functionally the same. Hope this helps someone.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Updates available
