Ideal for high-bandwidth server connectivity, storage area networks (SAN), and network-attached storage (NAS) deployments requiring reliable 10G performance. Perfect for backbone connectivity and server-to-switch communications.
Perfect for VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, and KVM environments with SR-IOV support for efficient virtual machine networking and reduced CPU overhead. VXLAN and NVGRE enable advanced software-defined networking.
Excellent for HPC clusters, rendering farms, and scientific computing applications that demand low-latency, high-throughput network connectivity. Jumbo frame support minimizes CPU overhead for large data transfers.
Yes, this PCIe x8 network adapter is fully compatible with PCIe x16 slots. It will work perfectly in x16 slots while using x8 lanes for data transfer. The card is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 and 1.0 slots as well.
Yes, for optimal performance and access to all advanced features, please download and install the latest driver from the "Driver Download" section at the top of this page. The driver package supports Windows Server 2012/2016/2019/2022, Windows 10/11, Linux, VMware ESXi, and FreeBSD.
Yes, the Intel X710-DA2 chipset fully supports SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization), allowing you to assign virtual functions directly to virtual machines for near-native network performance. It also supports VMDq, VXLAN, and NVGRE for advanced virtualization scenarios.
Absolutely! Both SFP+ ports can operate simultaneously at full 10Gbps speed, providing up to 20Gbps total throughput. You can use them for link aggregation (LACP), failover redundancy, or connect to separate networks.
The Intel X710-DA2 adapter has a typical power consumption of approximately 8-10W under normal operation. It does not require additional power connectors and draws power entirely from the PCIe slot.
Yes, this adapter supports jumbo frames up to 9.5KB (9500 bytes), which can significantly improve throughput for large file transfers and reduce CPU overhead in storage and backup applications.
Yes, the package includes both standard full-height and low-profile brackets, making it compatible with both standard servers and compact 2U/1U rack-mount chassis.
