Easy installation and high speed

I had a QNAP server on my network and the ISP recently increased the speed to 1.2Gbps. I added a multi-gigabyte switch and wanted to speed up booting from my desktop. With this card and a multi-gigabyte dongle, my desktop got about 800Mbps and the speed went up to 1200. Very easy to install in QNAP, but with different backplanes for full and half-height slots on the desktop. They could easily work there and would be a very inexpensive solution. Good

Pros
  • Computer components are not reliable

Works well on Windows 10

Just installed today, connected to a Zyxel switch https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084MLC83G on one of the 2.5G ports with a Cat5e cable . FYI, you need to download the Intel Driver Kit package first. I just googled the I225 driver before installing it. Intel utility shows I'm connected at 2.5 Gb/s, although it couldn't tell if the cable was of poor quality or not connected using the built-in cable integrity test. In terms of speed tests, I was able to sustain speeds of between 250 and 280โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • weak

Works well! for internals

I bought this to replace a RealTek based 2.5G NIC. I use them in a low level firewall (Pentium N3700). RealTek couldn't handle 2.5 Gb/s, too much CPU usage (solid 100%, max 2 Gb/s). This i225 based card has lower CPU utilization (90-100% but 2.3Gb/s as expected for 2.5G).

Pros
  • NICs
Cons
  • So So
