Review: Works Great! - I got this to try to connect to one of my rackmount servers in my homelab from my desktop. My server has a built in SFP port but I have just been using 1G ethernet up until this point and while that is fast, this thing is insane transfer speeds. It makes doing backups on my desktop much easier as the backup gets sent so much faster to the server. Eventually I would like to upgrade my house to at least 10g but that's a problem for future me. As far as the card's compatibility, I can't speak on other operating systems, but it installed plug-and-play on my Windows 11 system. Overall for a dual port 25gb SFP card, this is a great value for the price.
Review: mostly worked well - The card worked mostly well for me. I was able to achieve 25Gb speed with both switched and direct connections. Connection is also mostly stable as a 24/7 application. However, I did experience some stability issue when passing the card (from SMC X11 SSL board) to a Truenas 25 VM on proxmox 9 when iscsi service was enabled. The VM would keep restarting. However, when using the card on SMC X8 board running proxmox 9 without pci passthrough, everything runs very stable. Overall, seems to be a good value for the money for home lab or small business setups.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enterprise level NIC for homelab use
*by C***S on July 30, 2025*

I've been running 10GbE networks in my lab for about a year-and-a-half, which is a very noticeable upgrade from the more common 1, 2.5, and even 5 GbE speeds in non-enterprise gear. 25GbE is now "entry level" for enterprise networks, and popular because it's easily split from 100 GbE ports. With many "AI" applications demanding higher bandwidth, 400 GbE and even 800 GbE are replacing 100 GbE in high-end and mid-tier applications, and as NVMe storage becomes the normal, systems can increasingly take advantage of 25 GbE connections even for lower-end workstations and edge servers. I tested this card as a NIC in a supermicro storage server, serving 48 U.2 NVMe drives, which can easily saturate even multiple 10GbE connections. With 1 card and bonded ports, I had a clean 50 GbE connection to my switch, and running even multiple file connections to multiple servers for backup the speed increase was noticeable. This card won't be for your average desktop system, or even a higher end NAS setup, but if you can take advantage of it, it's a now affordable upgrade to existing 10GbE networks. The ConnectX4 chipset is still serious business, and in a virtualized environment like Proxmox, SRIOV means that each VM can "See" the hardware more directly, reducing latency and server load - important as network speeds increase and I/O ops become scarce. If you have the workload, the network, and a little patience (It's not drop-in easy), this could be the next step in your lab or small business for some serious I/O power.
