## Description

TX401

Review: Lacking windows server support - Doesn’t support windows server 2019
Review: Auspacken, Einbauen, Läuft - Habe diese Karte nach schlechten Erfahrungen mit einer Variante von Asus gekauft. Auf dieser TP-Link TX401 ist noch der alte AQC107 Controller drauf. Positiv: + Gute Verarbeitungsqualität + ASPM unterstützt und kodiert + EEE funktioniert einwandfrei, einschließlich EDPD + 10 Gbit/s werden in beide Richtungen erreicht (unter Linux und Windows) + LP-Slotblende dabei + Cat 6a Kabel dabei Negativ: - Windows und Linux erkennen hohe Exit-Latenzen (>64us) für ASPM Standby-Zustände und wollen diese daher standardmäßig nicht aktivieren. Alles in allem eine gute 10G-Karte zu einem verträglichen Preis.
