Intel X550-T2 Internal Ethernet 10000Mbit/S Card and Network Adapter - Network Cards and Adapters (Internal, Wired, Pci-E, Ethernet, 10000 MBit/S, Green, Silver)

Product Information

Enable Jumbo Frames only if devices across the network support them and are configured to use the same frame size.

The official standard for NBase-T is known as IEEE 802.3bz, and was promised as a feature-update via firmware by Intel, at the launch announcement within that X550 Product Brief, in this original Product Launch Intel file: "Intel_Ethernet_Controller_X550_Product_Brief.pdf" NBASE-T technology can increase network speeds of 2.5 Gb/s or 5 Gb/s using existing CAT 5e/CAT 6 cables at lengths up to 100 m.Perhaps more importantly, Intel’s X550 controller ships with drivers for all server and desktop/workstation-grade operating systems from Microsoft, VMware as well as numerous Linux distributives. Try to install the adapter in a slot on a bus by itself. If add-in cards share a bus, they compete for bus bandwidth. Compliance with Laws. The Materials are subject to export controls under applicable government laws and regulations, including in the U.S. You must comply with applicable laws and regulations, including U.S. and worldwide export regulations. You must not export, import, or transfer the Materials to any prohibited or sanctioned country, person, or entity. You must not use the Materials for the development, design, manufacture, or production of nuclear, missile, chemical, or biological weapons. I have linked and quoted the official Intel advertisements and documents above multiple times, that clearly promise in writing, that Intel would be upgrading from draft NBaseT to official standard IEEE 802.3bz support, post-launch of X550, as a free firmware upgrade.

As a fitness fanatic who loves running and cycling, I also have a keen interest in fitness-related technology, and I take every opportunity to cover this niche on my blog. My diverse interests allow me to bring a unique perspective to tech blogging, merging lifestyle, fitness, and the latest tech trends. You will also notice that the article mentioned that the Windows* drivers support the NBASE-T technology, but only in Autosense. Just to avoid your confusion on my question - I have switched from Windows, and I am now using Linux (because Drivers and OS do not matter to this request!).https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/88209/intel-ethernet-converged-network-adapter-x550t2.html

Example 2:If you have a 64-bit PCI-X adapter, put in a 133 MHz (266 or 533 if available) 64-bit PCI-X slot. Assignment. You may not assign Your rights or obligations under this Agreement without Intel’s prior written consent. No third party will have any rights under this Agreement.The support didn't drop, I have run an X540 card for quite some time. It was just never made to work in the x53s x2 or x4 slots. Direct testing of your network interface throughput capabilities can be done by using tools like: iperf*and Microsoft NTttcp*. You can configure these tools to use one or more streams. Now, where is the Firmware, and what version is that Firmware, to enable the Intel-promised IEEE 802.3bz specification on the X550-AT2 NIC?

and work properly (with slower speed). Since Intel 82599ES 10 Gigabit lan card is compatible for Qnap NAS system up to now (maybe they will cut the support after seeing this post). Preliminary-Draft Nbase-T upgrade to official IEEE 802.3bz MGIG firmware, as confirmed above by Intel, DOES NOT EXIST in full compliance, and, I ended up having to connect my server and PC directly with the ASUS XG-C100C and StarTech X550-T2, so the performance is capped by whichever is the slowest card.

Although, if multiple machines are trying to access it at the same time you will notice a difference using 10Gb over 1Gb since your drives can more than likely go faster than 1Gb speed.
