Recently, I received a new network card. X520-10G-1S-X8. It is a 10G NIC Intel 82599EN Controller, SFP+, PCIe X8 network card.
The brand is 10Gtek. I bought it on Tmall. The price is RMB152, = CA$30.
I installed it on the Proxmox VE system to replace the old 2.5G NIC that I had installed two years ago.
The PVE is connected to my TP-Link SG3210XHP-M2 switch through the SFP+ DAC cable.
I can tell that port 9 is 10G speed. I plug the DAC cable into port 9.
The iperf speed test is done on my desktop. The desktop is connected to the switch on a 2.5G connection.
iperf3 server on PVE host.
iperf3 client on my Windows 11 desktop.
Check the basic information of the 10G NIC.
So far so good. I will check the speed when a new adapter at my front door. I can test both 10G connections on my desktop to the PVE system.
