October 3, 20187 yr Hello - please feel free to send me to another resource if this isn't where I should ask: Is there a recommended affordable 10Gb NIC manufacturer and model people have had good luck with? I have no preference between ethernet or SFP+, either will work for my application.
October 3, 20187 yr Mellanox ConnectX-2, it's one of the cheapest out there and works fine with Unraid
October 24, 20187 yr I am having problems with a card based on the Aquantia chip used by the Asus XG-C100C. When I insert the Synology E10G18-T1 unraid crashes after a short time. Xpenology on the same Hardware runs rocksolid with this card and gives great transfer rates (SSD to SSD of course). The Mellanox X2 works on both systems. No idea, maybe Synology modified the Linux driver? Both unraid an Synology are Linux bases systems. Any idea? I need to use the copper NIC, because my worksystem is a Macbook and there are only copper thunderbolt 3 cards. Edited October 24, 20187 yr by troehl

November 8, 20196 yr do they work with windows 10. Yes, plug 'n play Edit: I use x64 Windows, don't know about x86 if anyone is still using 32bits. Edited November 8, 20196 yr by johnnie.black
