About this item
An Intel I226-V 2.5Gbps PCIe network card is a simple way to add 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet to a desktop, home server or NAS through one RJ45 port. This one is listed new at $69.65.
Is an Intel I226-V 2.5Gbps PCIe network card worth adding?
It's worth it if your router, switch or NAS already supports 2.5G and you move large files, back up photo libraries or edit from network storage. On a standard gigabit network, you won't get the higher speed.
- Slot: Make sure your motherboard has a free PCIe slot that fits the card.
- Bracket: If you use a small case, check whether a full-height or low-profile bracket is included.
- Drivers: Check that it supports your OS, whether that's Windows, Linux or a NAS system.
- Cabling: Use Cat5e or better cable for 2.5G connections.
