GLOTRENDS ST7318 2-Port 10Gb RJ45 Network Card with X540-AT2 Controller

For $25 this was a steal. I really didn't think this would work but I'm getting around 8gbps on both ports at the same time. I just wish I had other devices that could handle that speed lol

This nic picked up basically out of the box in Windows 11, and I was getting 10Gb line speeds to my QNAP 10Gb switch with no issues, using about a ~6ft cat6 cable. The bottleneck in my setup is mostly HDD array speed to my Synology, but I was pulling about ~6-7Gb/s without any problem. The heatsink on this model (basically a recycled X540-T2 chip) is huge, which should keep it cooler in consumer cases as a lot of the OEM ones are designed for use in high airflow cases. That said, do make sure there is some level of airflow over the heatsink as these chips are known to run really warm.

This thing has worked great so far. Just an easy drop-in upgrade to make my system 10g. I'm personally running manjaro linux, and it was literally plug and play no messing about with drivers needed. Speeds are exactly what you would expect. I would just make note to check available pci slots on your system. I had to shuffle a couple cards to get a x8 slot for this. Overall a solid card for a good value.

The GLOTRENDS ST7318 10Gb PCI-E NIC Network Card is a powerful upgrade for high-speed networking. Featuring dual copper RJ45 ports and the reliable Intel X540-AT2 controller, this network card delivers exceptional performance, making it perfect for data-intensive tasks, servers, and virtualized environments. It supports a wide range of systems, including Windows Server, Linux, and VMware, ensuring versatility for various setups. Comparable to the Intel X540-T2, this NIC offers a cost-effective alternative without sacrificing quality. Whether for professional use or advanced home networking, this card ensures smooth and fast data transfer at 10Gbps with excellent reliability.

I installed this 10Gb Ethernet adapter into my rack mounted server using the supplied low profile bracket. Installation was very easy and the provided instructions are well written. It's an incredibly fast network card that gives me blinding data transfer speeds - faster than I've ever seen before. Also, the price is fair for this outstanding adapter at less than 60 bucks. Love it! Low Price and Stunning Speed Performance. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! AAA+++

Product being reviewed: GLOTRENDS ST7318 2-Port 10Gb RJ45 Ethernet Network Card with Intel X540 Controller, PCIE 2.1 X8 Interface, Not Support Mac OS I'm sure this is a great network card, based on the Intel chip being used, but I couldn't get it to work in my Linux server. My server wouldn't POST and I honestly don't have time to troubleshoot it further than I already did. Once I remove the card, my server boots fine. I haven't tried it in Windows, so it may work there- I don't know. Other reviews seem to mention weird driver behavior in Windows 11, so I don't know if I received a dud or if this is just a picky card.

Installation is easy and I'm seeing around 6.5Gb transfer speed. I do wish it was closer to 10 but its still very fast and I think there are other factors that are keeping me from seeing the higher speed. It's still a lot faster than 1Gb.

I Had no issue installing this card. it works as expected. I downloaded the driver for the x540-AT2 directly from Intel. the card does support lower speeds, the driver showing 100mb, 1gb, and 10gb as options. i have connected at 1gb and 10gb I would buy again.

Perfecta, detectada a la primera por el sistema operativo.

Supported by pfsense, works as expected, great price and entry into the 10GBe world

Worked great with Windows11 and Linux. Does not overheat due to large heatsink. Good price for a dual X550 NIC. Recommended.

The Glotrends ST736810Gbps RJ45 NIC is working great. I'm getting close to max speeds out of the box. I didn't even need to install any drivers under Windows 11. Came with a CD with drivers😅. Come on guy's we don't use that anymore, but thanks for the coaster to put my drink on.🤣 Came well packaged. 0 complaints, well done!
