Does anyone know if this card is supported in UNRAID?  I cannot use most of Intel cards as they are mostly PCIE2 x8 and my motherboard only has a spare PCIE3 x4 slot.  The alternative would be to use Aquantia (now also Marvell) chipset cards from NICGIGA or Asus which do seem to be supported but please correct me if I am wrong.

 

Thanks

 

Better buy a used Mellanox X3 somewhere. Will be cheaper and works much smoother and rock solid. (But look carefully at the offer! there are 2x8 and 3x4 cards available!!!)

 

All these Marvelbased cards are meant for Client computers, they do not offer large buffers and can't multitask very well.

Used in a server often leads to short blockades under heavy load. Almost unnoticable, but lowering throuput quite a bit.

They work, but not really well.

 

BTW, there are also INTEL Cards with PCIE3x4. Look for "550" instead of "540".

(I guess I still have ~10 of them lying around unused. Kicked them out in favor of Mellanox)
