Hello Friends, I’m running TrueNAS-SCALE-24.10.2. Loooking for a good compatable PCIe 10Gig Ethernet NIC what won’t break the bank. (under $60) I’ve been reading posts now for about an hour. Would love it if I could just plug it in and it works :slight_smile: Any suggestions? Thanks in advance…

[image] widget0758: Aquantia being a case in point. Works at first on Core then you get issues whenever it happens to feel like it. Scale → rock solid, no issues. Right. Which is why my Aquantia NIC didn’t work at all under CORE and would pretty consistently fall over under heavy load with S…

[image] widget0758: Aquantia being a case in point. Acquantia 10G NICs have their merits (few PCIe lanes, low power), and are certainly suitable for desktop use, but are not designed and tested for heavy duty server use. It seems you’re fine under low load—good for you. @dan apparently puts t…
