Review on StarTech.com Dual Gigabit NIC Card - Intel i350 Chipset - 🔌 PCIe Ethernet Network Card - RJ45 Port - Server/Desktop Network Card (ST2000SPEXI) by Josh Cardoso

I have a lot of experience with computer hardware, so installation was easy. Locate a compatible PCIe slot on your motherboard and connect the device. The best advice I can give to buyers of this Network Interface Card (NIC) is to read the manual and take precautions to avoid electrostatic damage to the NIC (i.e. install the device in a suitable environment and wear an anti-static wrist strap to use). ). It's also important to understand how using this device in a PCIe slot on your motherboard affects other PCIe-based components (see your motherboard documentation for this information, which tells you what happens when each PCIe slot is full). After connecting the device, I installed the latest drivers from the StarTech website and then connected a Category 6a cable to each port. NIC earned at once. I've been using the network adapter for a week with no problems and my speed has been very consistent. Basically I bought this link aggregation NIC which I will implement in the next few days (waiting for a new router). Anyway, if you want to spend a modest amount for 802.3ad (IEEE Link Aggregation) and also need redundant and reliable Ethernet connections, buy this NIC. I am very happy with it.
