What primary chipset is used in the StarTech.com PEX20000SFPI-VHBRSN? +
This 2-port 10G network interface card is powered by a reliable Intel controller. Utilizing the Intel chipset ensures high-level compatibility with various operating systems, robust driver support, and efficient data processing, making it an excellent choice for demanding enterprise environments that require stable and high-speed network performance.
Does this StarTech.com 10G NIC support specific SFP+ transceiver brands? +
The PEX20000SFPI-VHBRSN features open SFP+ slots, allowing you to use MSA-compliant transceivers. Because it is not locked to a single vendor, you have the flexibility to select the optical or DAC modules that best fit your existing network infrastructure and distance requirements without proprietary hardware restrictions.
Can I install this fiber network card in a standard PCIe slot? +
This card utilizes a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, which is standard for modern servers and high-end workstations. It is designed to fit into a full-profile expansion slot, though it can also be installed in low-profile chassis using the included bracket, providing versatile deployment options for various server rack configurations.
What is the maximum data throughput I can expect from this 2-port card? +
Equipped with two 10Gbps SFP+ ports, this card delivers a total aggregate bandwidth of up to 20Gbps in full-duplex mode. This high-performance capacity makes it ideal for bandwidth-intensive tasks such as high-frequency trading, virtualization, data backup, and managing heavy traffic loads in enterprise-grade fiber networks.
Is this network interface card compatible with virtualized server environments? +
Yes, the card supports advanced features like Intel Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c). This technology significantly improves performance in virtualized environments by reducing I/O overhead, allowing your virtual machines to handle high-speed network traffic with minimal impact on CPU utilization.
Does this card require additional drivers for Windows or Linux servers? +
