Intel I350 Dual RJ45 Port Ethernet Server Adapter, 2 Ports, PCIe v2.1 (5.0GT/s) x4 4 7

Can't go wrong with this card.

The card I received the first time wasn't what I originally ordered due to a 3rd party supplier problem, but ANYHDD (merchant) rectified the problem immediately and shipped the correct card out within 24 hours. Verified the replacement was indeed the correct card. Having said that, Here's a quick review:I've been an Operations Engineer for a few years now and absolutely would not use any other NIC besides Intel cards period. Broadcom based stuff is decent, but if you're building a server or home computer, choose Intel. This card supports LACP (bonding both ports together) so that you can either have a failover connection in case one dies, or you can server 2x 1Gbit worth of traffic out. Has saved my ass a few times in a datacenter when one switch dies. While Intel cards are expensive, they are worth their weight in gold for features and reliability.

Old Stock

Purchased from Serverpartdeals but card received was not an I350T2V2; just the older I350T2. However, the card seems to be a genuine Intel card with the holographic Yottamark sticker on back, the embossed Delta brand on the transformer chip, and the TXC oscillator chip. Running this card in FreeNAS with both ports in a LACP link aggregation, and performance is as anticipated.

BEWARE!!! Not V2 cards - old I350T2 cards.

The 2 cards I received were NOT I350T2V2BLK, they were OLD I350T2BLK. Even the sticker on the card says I350T2. The MDDS document number on the card sticker cross-references to I350T2 and NOT I350T2V2. That said, they are genuine. Hologram sticker, printings, etc. They work fine but are OLD stock. Even the date code on the "Delta" chip on one side says 04/2014. The V2 rev of the card did not launch until Q3 '14. They seem to be working fine so far on CentOS7.2.Jeff

TEamed Up

Teamed this Duplex NIC up on a SBS 2011 Server. Works flawlessly.

Good

Sent this one back, but I have the larger I350T4. Good server-class NIC.

Great speed and optional setup.

Now my new server has the fastest Ethernet pool I can give it at a really good price. I can now install SCCM 2012 and Hyper-V at the maximum density for a small workplace setting.
