Do the windows config tweak herein. - Many people have complained about this card. However, it's absolutely a windows bug that will lock the whole operating system, needing a cold-start. This card is brilliant, and performs really well. The issue is dual disk-cache deadlock if you want to look it up. It's been waiting to bite for 25 years, once nvme cards were invented and coupled to fast NICs like this one. It happens because firstly the NVMe DRAM cache filles up, then the windows file cache, then that pushes back into the Windows 11 kernel, which locks up a spinlock. Your whole OS will freeze if your write speed is faster than your NVMe can handle, which this NIC will allow. It's very easy to fix... NVMe drive have an onboard DRAM disk cache, so windows operating-system level caching will conflict, and also degrade general write performance quite noticeably, and cause your operating system to completely lock when writing data to disk copied over the NIC, where the data rate exceeds the random write speed. The on-board DRAM is big (over 1GB), and many times faster that windows disk caching, so you really don't need the windows stuff slowing it down. Find your storage device in Windows Device Manager, open Properties, under Write-Caching-policy, disable write-caching-on-this-device. Reboot. TCP flow control will now work correctly, and while the write speed may drop to zero, that's fine and intended - you're just exceeding the random write speed of your storage device when that happens. It's also better to use the "Marvell AQution 10Gbit Network Adapter" drivers directly from the Marvell website rather than the TP-LINK ones. While the same driver is installed, there is extra stuff bundled with the TP-LINK drivers you don't need. After 30 years working in IT, I've not seen a better value or more reliable 10G card in this price bracket. Highly recommended if you do the above. Update: You must also disable the following in the NIC advanced device settings: Large Send OfFload v1 (IPv4) Large Send OfFload v2 (IPv4) Large Send OfFload v2 (IPv6) Review: Working great with custom fan mount - I purchased this network card for my PC as I recently upgraded to 3Gbps internet with Community Fibre. After quite a bit of deliberation, I settled with the TP Link card due to the positive reviews and I haven’t been disappointed! Really easy to install the required Marvell drivers and worked straight away. Due to the amount of heat that 10G cards tend to produce, I was concerned about having the card directly next to my graphics card. After a bit of googling, I noticed that someone had uploaded the files required for a 3D printable 40/50mm fan mount, so I decided to try it out. I combined it with both a thermal sensor and a 40mm Noctua A4x20 fan and now temps rarely ever get higher than 45 degrees! Completely unnecessary, yes but it looks cool and is functional 😅. Definitely recommend this card ## Features - 10 Gbps Networking - Combined with the latest 10GBase-T Technology, TX401 delivers extreme speeds of up to 10 Gbps, which is 10× faster than typical Gigabit adapters, guaranteeing smooth data transmissions for both internet access and local data transmissions - Versatile Compatibility - With extreme speed and ultra-low latency, 10GBase-T is backwards compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, automatically negotiating between higher and lower speed connections - CAT6A Ethernet Cable - To maximize TX401's performance, a 1.5 m CAT6A Ethernet Cable is included—rated for up to 10 Gbps while a regular cable is only rated for 1 Gbps - Low-Profile and Full-Height Brackets - In addition to the standard bracket, a low-profile bracket is provided for mini tower computer cases. Customized options give you the flexibility to find a bracket that perfectly fits your board design - Comprehensive System Support - Fully compatible with Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Windows Servers 2019/2016/2012 R2, and Linux to meet your diverse operating system needs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08DVGMKWP | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,608 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 2 in Network Cards | | Box Contents | 1.5 m CAT6A Ethernet Cable, 10 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter (TX401), Quick Installation Guide, Resource CD, Standard/Low-Profile Brackets | | Brand | TP-Link | | Brand Name | TP-Link | | Color | Red | | Colour | Red | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Server | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Compatible devices | Desktop, Server | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 80 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet | | Data Transfer Rate | 10 Gigabits Per Second | | Data link protocol | Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet, PCI | | Hardware interface | Ethernet , PCI | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12.1L x 9.8W x 2.2H centimetres | | Manufacturer | TP-Link | | Manufacturer Part Number | TX401 | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 7 | | Model Number | TX401 | | Product Warranty | 3 year manufacturer | | Product dimensions | 12.1L x 9.8W x 2.2H centimetres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TP-Link - **Colour:** Red - **Compatible Operating System Family:** Windows - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Server - **Data link protocol:** Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet - **Data transfer rate:** 10 Gigabits Per Second - **Hardware interface:** Ethernet, PCI - **Minimum Required Operating System Version:** Windows 7 - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Product dimensions:** 12.1L x 9.8W x 2.2H centimetres ## Images ![TP-Link TX401 10 Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet Network Adapter | 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100Mbps Multi-Speed, QoS Support, Cat6a Cable Included, Low-Profile Bracket, Supports Windows 10/11 & Linux - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LfgsmQ69L.jpg) ![TP-Link TX401 10 Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet Network Adapter | 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100Mbps Multi-Speed, QoS Support, Cat6a Cable Included, Low-Profile Bracket, Supports Windows 10/11 & Linux - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51jd3DswBvL.jpg) ![TP-Link TX401 10 Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet Network Adapter | 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100Mbps Multi-Speed, QoS Support, Cat6a Cable Included, Low-Profile Bracket, Supports Windows 10/11 & Linux - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RtMSm6YDL.jpg) ![TP-Link TX401 10 Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet Network Adapter | 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100Mbps Multi-Speed, QoS Support, Cat6a Cable Included, Low-Profile Bracket, Supports Windows 10/11 & Linux - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51CZ0+yRA3L.jpg) ![TP-Link TX401 10 Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet Network Adapter | 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100Mbps Multi-Speed, QoS Support, Cat6a Cable Included, Low-Profile Bracket, Supports Windows 10/11 & Linux - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61s78Y8j4JL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A robust and stable card that I very highly recommend.

However it has reliability issues when transferring large files for an extended time. The connection may drop which requires restarting the adapter (windows 11). ## Frequently Bought Together - TP-Link TX401 10 Gigabit PCIe Network Card, PCI Express Network Adapter, Low-Profile and Full-Height Brackets, Supports Wins 11,10,8.1,8,7, Wins Servers RS 2022,2019,2016,2012 R2, Linux - Synology E10G22-T1-Mini 10GbE SFP+add-in-card 2 port - 10GbE RJ-45 network upgrade module - 10Gtek 10Gb SFP+ RJ45 Copper Module 30-meter, 10GBase-T SFP+ Transceiver Compatible for Cisco SFP-10G-T-S, Ubiquiti UniFi UF-RJ45-10G, Netgear, Mikrotik S+RJ10, TP-Link, D-Link --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/250525771-tp-link-tx401-10-gigabit-pci-express-ethernet-network-adapter](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/250525771-tp-link-tx401-10-gigabit-pci-express-ethernet-network-adapter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
