High-Speed Network Connectivity: Jeirdus Ethernet Gigabit Desktop PCIe Network Card Controller Adapter with Intel 82573L Chipset 10/100/1000M Review

I was a bit nervous about getting this card as the obvious description of 'English as a second language' gave the impression that maybe it would be but maybe, it's not true, no, but it may have worked on an Intel chip and based on reviews reporting non-Intel chips. However, when I installed it on my Truenas server to FINALLY replace the built-in junk (realtek, yes I should have read the compatible NICs section on the build) the system booted immediately and even showed the Intel BIOS prompt…

This card is rated for 1000 but its top speed is about 860m. It's fine for my use case. I have 400 Mbps to 480 Mbps from my cable provider. It handles my bust speeds just fine, but when I use the second port as my LAN, the download speed drops to 360Mbps. It can't transmit 400m (WAN) and 400m (LAN) at the same time. I worked on this using my PC's built-in LAN port, which is also 1000, so I'm no longer bottlenecked. fits most use cases, but the standard bracket is about 1/2 inch too big and…

I bought and returned this NIC because it never came anywhere close to full gigabit network speeds. Another gigabit card on the same computer transmits data at an expected peak throughput of 940 Mbps on my home network. The speed of this card rarely exceeded 600 Mbit/s and usually averaged 560 Mbit/s. In hindsight, I noticed that some of the positive reviews were discussing similar speeds - I guess without realizing they were below average. I tested both ports and spent half an hour with Revain

Although OK I think it's worth noting that this is NOT a genuine Intel NIC. It works great, it's an Intel chipset, but other than that it's a clone. If you're obviously looking for a genuine Intel NIC, skip this one. If, like me, you admit that it doesn't really matter, as long as I get the Intel chipset I need, you'll be fine.

For the money, this Intel based chip was a great buy. I used it for a Linux router and was concerned about driver support. Needless to say, it just purrs and improves the router's I/O. Thanks for a great product.

I bought a network card instead of an overpriced brand to install ESXI on older hardware but found that ESXI v7.0 doesn't recognize the card (shame) , but ESXI v6.7 did. Using ISO "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.7.0.update03-14320388.x86_64.iso" from VMware site without further consideration with drivers and "TrueNAS-12.0-RELEASE.iso" with iXsystems. Its mileage may be high, but the card is very responsive and has no problem lagging behind network traffic. Definitely worth the <$25 price paid…

I received it for link aggregation but couldn't load ANS drivers for it, although it works as dual port 1000 MT you can't grouping or link aggregation use non-server operating system.
