2.5gb pci-e card works!

[blue max]

This one works on an HP Microserver Gen8 at least.

The Nic-RTL8125B with the red heatsink (as there are multiple there.

 

Only really useful if you have moved to SSD's.

It’s great! I’m getting the full 2.5gb. Though I have all ssd’s in it. I’ve got another that I just bought one for too. Didn’t need any drivers, just worked. I have a Qnap five port switch and 10gig network in my Mac mini. Was a leap of faith, but I’m happy and hope it helps someone else. I tried with a usb network adapter, but it was flakey.

May I ask: Did you add it as an upgrade, or did you have to reinstall Xpenology? Which driver/package have you used?

I'm curious as well as I'm in the process of upgrading to 2.5 gigabit on my main2.5Gb PCIe Network Card, NICGIGA 2.5

I have the card in my cart just waiting till Friday to purchase
