Purchased network adapters to connect a TrueNAS server to my workstation. Easily reaches storage speed limits, simple installation with driver download from the manufacturer's site on Windows 11. Plug and Play installation on TrueNAS Scale Dragonfish (Debian).
Hello everyone,
I bought this model to test on old servers: DELL T320 (Promox 8.2), T630 (EXSI 7 and 8), no need to update the drivers they were recognized directly.
After having put aside for 2 months I have just tested on my config under OC Formula X299 (W11) that works perfectly the marvell drivers what are installed with Windows update and the tests of bandwidth reach the 4500Mo/s in dl and 700mo/s in up, because they are the limits of the subscription Free.
All on PCI X8 X16
Please note that this test is based on a network architecture: Free delta SFP 10G port, DAC cable to FS com SFP 10G to RJ45 converter and a 10GB Switch on the floor.
If you have a large installation (lots of electrical cables and so on) I recommend CAT 8 RJ connectors, which are shielded to greatly limit electromagnetic interference.
10 Gigabit PCI Express Network Adapter
10 Gbit/s network - Combined with the latest 10GBase-T technology, the TX401 offers extreme speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s, which is 10 times faster than conventional Gigabit adapters, ensuring smooth data transmissions for Internet access and local data transmission.
Versatile compatibility - With extreme speed and ultra-low latency, 10GBase-T is backwards compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, automatically negotiating between higher and lower speed connections.
CAT 6A Ethernet cable - To maximise the TX401's performance, a 1.5m CAT6A Ethernet cable is included - rated for up to 10Gbps whereas a standard cable is only rated for 1Gbps.
Low-profile and full-height brackets - In addition to the standard bracket, a low-profile bracket is provided for mini-tower computer cases. Customised options give you the flexibility to find a bracket that perfectly matches your board design.
FULL SYSTEM SUPPORT - Fully compatible with Windows 11/ 10 / 8.1 / 8/7, Windows 2019/2016/2012 R2 servers and Linux to meet the diverse needs of your operating system.

Problem-free installation. Works perfectly. Small detail: Although the box does not mention Windows 11 among the compatible operating programs, the latter accepted the card without difficulty.
The only downside: for some reason (logistical error?), I had to wait 3 weeks to receive the part.
No problems to report. Immediately recognized under Windows 10.
Use in conjunction with a 10Gbps Ethernet / SFP+ adapter.
