Overall Satisfaction with Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540
Being used in most of our servers and are a great entry-level 10gbe card. Does work right out of box with Ubuntu Servers. It made the migration to 10Gb6 very easy and it's nice that it does have backwards compatibility so it allows us to go backwards if that is ever needed. Performance is great even with lower cost and more savings on power.
