Review: mint - just turn off plug it in and switch on and go,no drivers wanted at all running linux mint 21.3 kernel 6.5.0-27 Review: Just what I needed - I made a mistake the first time around of shopping by price. The trade off on my first 10g NIC was the random and occasional disconnects. This one performs flawlessly and has much better network throughput. If I needed another one I would buy it again. It did not work out of the box in my wi does 11 machine but after installing the included (I know right?) drivers it immediately was recognized and work fine. I started with computers in the late 80’s so the concept of installing a driver is no big deal for me. ## Features - Hyper-fast 10Gbps networking delivers up to 10X-faster data-transfer speeds for bandwidth-demanding tasks - Full compatibility with current network standards, including 10/5/2.5/1Gbps and 100Mbps, for seamless backward compatibility - Windows and Linux support for flexible OS integration with Windows 10/8.1/8/7 and Linux Kernel 4.4/4.2/3.6/3.2 - RJ45 port easily upgrades your desktop to 10Gbps networking using standard copper network Cables - Prioritize your data with built-in Quality-of-Service (QoS) technology, allowing you to prioritize bandwidth and supported data packets for a smooth online experience ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B072N84DG6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 54,851 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 159 in Network Cards | | Box Contents | Quick start guide, Warranty card, XG-C100C 10G PCI_E Network Adapter, support CD (user manual and ultility) | | Brand | ASUS | | Brand Name | ASUS | | Color | Grey, Red | | Colour | Grey, Red | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Compatible devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 805 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Gigabit Ethernet | | Data Transfer Rate | 10000 Megabits Per Second | | Data link protocol | Gigabit Ethernet | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 3 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00889349620045, 04712900620078 | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet | | Hardware interface | Ethernet | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12L x 8.5W x 2.1H centimetres | | Item Type Name | ASUS XG-C100C 10G Network Adapter PCI-E x4 Card with Single RJ-45 Port (XG-C100C) | | Item Weight | 91 g | | Manufacturer | ASUS Computer International Direct | | Manufacturer Part Number | XG-C100C | | Model Number | XG-C100C | | Product dimensions | 12L x 8.5W x 2.1H centimetres | | UPC | 889349620045 689341096318 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ASUS - **Colour:** Grey, Red - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Data link protocol:** Gigabit Ethernet - **Data transfer rate:** 10000 Megabits Per Second - **EU Spare Part Availability Duration:** 3 Years - **Hardware interface:** Ethernet - **Item weight:** 0.2 Pounds - **Product dimensions:** 12L x 8.5W x 2.1H centimetres - **UPC:** 889349620045 689341096318 ## Images ![ASUS XG-C100C 10G Network Adapter PCI-E x4 Card with Single RJ-45 Port and Built-in QoS for use with Windows 10/8.1/8/7 and Linux Kernel 4.4/4.2/3.6/3.2 (XG-C100C) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GEGmLyn8L.jpg) ![ASUS XG-C100C 10G Network Adapter PCI-E x4 Card with Single RJ-45 Port and Built-in QoS for use with Windows 10/8.1/8/7 and Linux Kernel 4.4/4.2/3.6/3.2 (XG-C100C) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RZMI4+WiL.jpg) ![ASUS XG-C100C 10G Network Adapter PCI-E x4 Card with Single RJ-45 Port and Built-in QoS for use with Windows 10/8.1/8/7 and Linux Kernel 4.4/4.2/3.6/3.2 (XG-C100C) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gHjCg3FXL.jpg) ![ASUS XG-C100C 10G Network Adapter PCI-E x4 Card with Single RJ-45 Port and Built-in QoS for use with Windows 10/8.1/8/7 and Linux Kernel 4.4/4.2/3.6/3.2 (XG-C100C) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+JHlmpebL.jpg) ![ASUS XG-C100C 10G Network Adapter PCI-E x4 Card with Single RJ-45 Port and Built-in QoS for use with Windows 10/8.1/8/7 and Linux Kernel 4.4/4.2/3.6/3.2 (XG-C100C) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718I4DsPF5L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would this work with a crossover cable, so you can avoid the (ridiculous) expense of a 10G switch if you wanted to connect only two PCs together?** A: The TP-Link TL-SX105 5-port 10Ggps is available now in late 2021 at a not quite so ridiculous expense of $320. **Q: Will i get 10g speed over pcie 2.0?** A: PCIe1 is 250MB/sec per lane, PCIe2 is 500MB/sec per lane, PCIe3 is 800MB/sec per lane. So an x4 PCIe2 slot has..... 2Gb/sec transfer capability. 10gbe is 1.2Gb/sec transfer speeds, which falls nicely within a PCIe x4 slot. If you're computer can drive data that quickly is another question. A single consumer SATA SSD can only do 400-500MB/sec , and SATA3 can only do 600MB maximum, which is under the speed of the 10gbe. So unless you have a RAID setup with SSDs, you cannot exceed the ethernet connection. Or, a nice NVMe m.2 drive can do 3600MB/sec easily, which will hurt the 10gbe connection. **Q: can this work as a 10gigabit connection in between 2 systems if both have one of these like from a file server to a workstation pc** A: Yes. That's exactly how I'm using a pair of them, between a Linux file server and desktop. I manually configured IP addresses and routes. **Q: Is this card low profile? does it come with the low profile bracket?** A: The card comes with a standard size bracket but a low profile bracket is in the box. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ mint *by M***G on 27 April 2024* just turn off plug it in and switch on and go,no drivers wanted at all running linux mint 21.3 kernel 6.5.0-27 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I needed *by E***C on 5 April 2024* I made a mistake the first time around of shopping by price.

JE ne sais pas si c'est cela qui est en cause mais une fois la carte installé dans le pc avec le driver d'ASUS, au prochain arrêt/Démarrage, il y a un conflit avec le CPU empêchant le pc de démarrer.
