10 Gigabit Ethernet achieves ultra-fast data rates of up to 10 billion bits per second, 10 times faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet. It's a whole new era for all your bandwidth-intensive tasks, from local data transfers to Internet access.
Local data transmissions in seconds
With 10 Gbps Internet access, your games will be fully optimised with a huge increase in speed, latency and responsiveness. Large game downloads, seamless live streaming and massive data backups via the cloud are as easy as picking your character.
For local connections, a 10G PCIe adapter creates an ultra-fast transport channel between a central server and other working machines on your local network. Local data transmissions will be a breeze for you as you easily manage bandwidth-intensive tasks in your home or office.
Features :
10 Gbps network, 10GBase-T technology
Backward compatible with 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps and 100 Mbps
Support for Windows 10/8.1/8/7, Windows Server 2019/2016/2012 R2 and Linux
Following a switch to an Orange 8 Gb offer, the product holds the load without a hitch. Used H24, no disconnections or crashes after 1 month of use, product in V1.
The only problem under Windows is that I had to download the driver manually before I could use the product. Even though almost all motherboards have an integrated network card, I think it's a shame that the product doesn't have a generic driver, even though a CD is supplied in the box.

Very unstable
Yes, there are great speeds, but the card disconnects several times a day. I have to "reboot the adapter" regularly for it to come back (sometimes it solves the problem for a day, sometimes for ... 10 min).
I'm going to send it back and order another model.

Perfect
Easy to install. Works very well on Windows and Linux.
I had to recompile the Linux kernel, as the one supplied with Gentoo by default did not contain the necessary driver. This network card uses an Aquantia AQC107 chipset. You just need to enable these options in the Linux kernel: CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_AQUANTIA and CONFIG_AQTION.
I haven't been able to try this out, but it should work without recompiling the kernel for more widespread distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch).
Impeccable transfer rates in combination with an SFP module (TEXTORM Module Transceiver SFP+ 10G BASE-T) installed in a Freebox Ultra (v9).

Very good value for money.
I needed to replicate my main server connected to a 10 Gb switch to a secondary server in another building connected by a category 6A RJ45 cable. Thanks to this card, I have a 10 Gb connection. The transfer rates are very good. In my opinion, at this price it's a product that does the job very well, but it remains to be seen how long it will last.

help with specific problems, when you really don't understand!
Hello, I called for help today to review a problem that I thought was hardware.
(asus x99-A card)
I was supposed to have 1Gb on both the rising and falling edges... but here I am! Impossible with driver updates and so on. Impossible to increase the upload speed to the desired level...
The cables are good (cat7), as is the PCI port, in short, everything's OK, and yet I'm still stuck at 0.3Gb. The "balls (!)".
After going over everything again with the technician, whom I kissed tenderly and affectionately (without his consent) but with the decorum of an educated person, I resigned myself, and sank into the mental defeatism of my ex-wife who used to say to me "the best is the enemy of the good"...
My motto is to live dangerously and also "who can do more can do less"... hence my divorce!
So I poked around in the peripheral management, the advanced properties of the card and in my case the transmit buffer and receive buffer were not proportional. There must be a x2 factor between the two...
(By default there were 512 RB and 2048 in TB, you never know why!)
And now, miraculously, everything's OK. Can't wait for the next 10Gb!
So a big thank you to customer service who helped me find the solution by going over everything with infinite patience and confirming that my old cart could still hold!
NB: transmit buffer = receive buffer x 2 ---> For example 1024= 1024x2=2048
