Review on 🔌 Enhanced Syba I/O Crest SI-MPE24046 2-Port Gigabit Mini PCI-e Ethernet Network Interface Card by Paul Wall

I had to return it because while I was able to get it to work with ESXi, it had two limitations that I couldn't solve. corrected. Its large packet support couldn't support 9000 (it was capped at 4000 for example) and it's a PCIe 1.0 AND 1x device, meaning it can't reach full performance. I believe the slot limited it to 1.5Gb/s while physically offering 2x1Gb/s full duplex. That means you can't transfer 2Gbps over a 1.5Gbps slot or 4Gbps over 3Gbps full duplex. Vib of a custom ESXi installer, but note that you cannot pump frames to their maximum size.
