Pros & Cons
Pros
Gbits/sec receiver. No startup issues, instantly recognized by pfsense and my diy router/firewall is up and replacing my dd-wrt routers.
Running windows 11 on a msi pro z690-a motherboard. Using this in a dell r720 server with vmware. This is the cheapest and best vmware-compatible card i could find for the money.
Make sure to download and install the intel proset tools to gain full functionality on windows. Card was detected by the kernel in both stock debian linux 11 and proxmox 7. Worked well in windows server 2016 and windows 10.
Card connects to mac mini w/10gb nic and nvme ssd system drive. Comes with a small form factor plate so you can swap out to fit your sff computer. Allows you to edit photos right off the nas. Can also be used to connect to older qnap nas.
Gbits/sec 53 1. Gbit/sec 32 2. Gbit/sec 44 2. Batteries/sec 163 2. Obtained an average of 3.
Cons
It simply disconnects from the system like you pull it out. Simply does not detect the card as being installed.

Price
With the price of those official modules it is almost as inexpensive to buy an official intel card with the modules
Shipping
Purchased all my 10g ethernet here so fast and so nice no problems
It booted up and drivers were found quickly without issue
Packaging/appearance
I got the dual channel version one to go straight to my iscsi box and the other to my lan
Competitiveness
Tried another brand before and could not even get my system to boot
Trying to use off brand modules just wont work under esxi

Also find out that intel nics tend to be unstable w amd setups
