Review: Very Reliable, Easy Install, Recommended - My use case is a personal development network with two high end desktop workstations, one with AMD Ryzen 9 and the other with Intel i7. Both are running Ubuntu Linux 22.04.2 PRO and I am using a Mikrotik CRS306-4S-1N switch. Both Desktop systems have dual 10G NICs and cable into the switch with 6COM 6C-SFP-10G-T SFP+ 10G RJ45 Adapters and CAT8 cabling. As soon as everything was plugged in the systems came right up and everything was fast and sweet. Don't forget to plug in the backhaul cable from the switch to your in-house network feed otherwise no DHCP and the 10G connections don't com up. Highly recommended. This is plug and play and the most practical sense. Installation time was about an hour and that include putting boards in two machines, running cables, attaching adapters and installing switch. "Settings/Network/Ethernet/Wired/enp11s0f0 showed connected at 10000 Mb/s immediately. My one extra thought though is that the dual channel boards are only a little bit more, and by the time you bother to open up the box and install a board, you might as well think of the future, IMHO.
Review: Works out of the box and are reliable - We have quite a few of these running on VMWare servers and I also went ahead and stuck one in my desk station because, why not have a 10GB dual NIC in it? They perform well and have had 0 issues running 24/7 and are a good economical option for adding dual NIC capable of 10Gig (the HP branded ones can be expensive). No compatibly issues with VMWare or Windows Server or Window 11. We have them in HP and Dell servers and my desktop is a custom built ASUS with an AMD CPU.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes it works with Windows 11
*by R***N on October 28, 2024*

Was a little worried if this card would work with Windows 11 or not, but it does. You just have to download the full driver package which as all the drivers for Windows, Linux, ect. and unzip it into a folder. Then go to the device manager and select the device and click on upgrade driver. Then just point to the folder and BAM it finds the driver for Windows 11. Don't know which driver it liked, but who cares, Windows 11 likes it and it now works and tested at almost 10g speeds.
