What is the fastest 10GbE card

Last updated on 28 Dec 2021 📧 Subscribe

How do I determine whether the NIC I am using is delivering what I paid for”? Is there some sort of test methodology to determine NIC through put?

All of the 10GbE cards listed bellow use the same chip. Very unlikely you will see performance difference between them.

Aquantia AQtion AQC107 chip

  • Synology  E10G18-T1
  • Asus XG-C100C
  • ROG Areion 10G
  • QNAP QXG-10G1T
  • TP-LINK TX401
  • Gigabyte GC-AQC107

If you want to achieve something faster then you can cnsider dual port card and link aggregation/port trunking.

Here are few cards from Intel
