Review on πŸ”Œ X-MEDIA Dual Port PCIe 10/100/1000Mbps Intel 82575EB Gigabit Ethernet Server Network Card, Windows 10 & Linux Compatible [XM-NA3821] by David Flores

Revainrating 2 out of 5

good for failover, bad for bandwidth increase

my purpose of purchase is to add more ethernet port to increase bandwidth of my storage server cheaply. (More information please, Google SMB Multilink connection) This is a home server only, no need to move to 10g network. I set up some simple tests. I wasn't happy with the results so I decided to buy another product to test, another product works much better than this product at a lower price. (Sorry man, I won't give you any more product information here. This is not an advertisement or a paid review.) The tests are described below, X-Media is installed on my server (named Storage PC). Test 1: One X-Port MEDIA + built-in LAN (Similar to the following: server download, server download, Crystal Disk Mark over the network) Test 2: dual-port X-MEDIAtest 3 dual-port Other Product test 4: one port to the other + built-in LAN All detailed test results are displayed in pictures. Crystal Disk Mark Score Test #: Read Write Test 1: 182.46 227.07 Test 2: 164.05 99.91 Test 3: 192.12 225.16 Test 4: 183.6 216.63
