Review: La tengo puesta en Windows 10 para hacer teaming o link agregation y funciona bien. Hay que forzar a que use otro driver pero tengo el servidor funcionando a 2 Gbps y funciona perfecto. Es una tarjeta con sus años pero merece la pena. Review: Ich suchte eine weitere Netzwerkkarte für meinen VMware 6.7 U3 Server, da nicht viele Karten kompatible zum VMware Server sind, gab es hauptsächlich die Intel in der engeren Auswahl. Das Original liegt so bei um die 70€, daher war es für mich fraglich ob die Karte überhaupt an das Original rankommt. Tut es. Eingebaut (ASUS X99-Deluxe 2011CPU) wurde sofort im VMware 6.7 Server erkannt und der gemessene Durchsatz entspricht den technischen Details. ## Features - Product Type - Adapter - Warranty - Lifetime - Compatible with x4, x8, and x16 full-height PCI Express slots - Support for most network operating systems (NOS) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BMZHX2 | | Brand | Intel | | Color | multicolor | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (404) | | Data Link Protocol | Gigabit Ethernet | | Data Transfer Rate | 1000 Megabits Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00635145507451 | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet | | Item Part Number | EXPI9402PT 868973 | | Item Weight | 0.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Intel | | Mfr Part Number | EXPI9402PT | | Model Number | EXPI9402PT | | UPC | 735858175340 635145507451 803982782786 675900670648 777787419812 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **Colour:** multicolor - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Data link protocol:** Gigabit Ethernet - **Hardware interface:** Ethernet ## Images ![Intel Pro/1000Pt Dual Server - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RTwtXudxL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: The card shipped to me wasn't an Intel PRO/1000, it was an IBM D56146-003, and is not recognized during the ESXi installation. Any suggestions?** A: What's the chipset of the card? According to this page from VMware, your card may not be supported out-of-the-box on a clean install. Mine is 82571EB which is deprecated. Link: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2056935 **Q: So if I am putting this in a NAS build what exactly will this do for me?** A: These all assume your switch has the feature list to support these functions. These are likely the most frequently used features.Jumbo Frames. Up to 9238 bytes per packet. More bits, less overhead with large transfers. Switch and all connected adapters should support jumbo frames. Frame size is negotiated to the lowest common denominator so if your desktop NIC doesn't support jumbo frames the best you'll get is 1500 bytes per packet. Most desktop NICs, particularly RealTek do not support jumbo frames or only support 4k frames. While this isn't a deal breaker the more common size is 9k which does make significantly more difference than 4k frames. Either way, unless you're moving large files you're not likely to notice. In my home lab the difference in throughput for a backup job is around 300Mbps for a 1500 byte frame vs. 800Mbps for a 9k frame. The limit becomes how quickly my NAS can process the packets and write to disk.Link Aggregation (LAGG) - Load balancing traffic across multiple ports to increase available bandwidth. YOUR SWITCH MUST SUPPORT LAGG. If your switch does not support LAGG it will likely just shut both ports down. Check for LACP support on your switch. The average desktop switch does NOT support LACP. Useful if multiple high demand endpoints are transferring large payloads at the same time. Distributed virtualization platforms often depend on having more bandwidth than a single NIC can handle.Redundancy. Either Active-Passive or Active-Active redundancy. Similar to LAGG, this feature must be supported by your switch since the MAC address is usually leveraged to provide seamless transition from the active to fail-over NIC in the event of a failure. **Q: Does this come with the low profile adapter for 2U rackmount cases?** A: Just to add to the confusion, mine did not come with a low profile adapter. So don't bet on it. **Q: Will this work in desktop class hardware that is being used for and ESXi test lab?** A: I am currently using 9 of these across 3 HP DL380 G7/G8 servers running vSphere 5.1. These should work fine for an ESXi lab. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***C on 15 January 2018* La tengo puesta en Windows 10 para hacer teaming o link agregation y funciona bien.

Okay cancelled return, the Adapter worked in the third computer I tried. As I confirmed this worked, I dug a bit deeper, be careful of BIOS PCIe allotment's, I had 1PCIe x16, 3 PCIe x1 and a PCIE X4, this was the slot I fitted it to as requires a x4. This x4 is only a x4 when PCIe 2 or 3 are not used, I had a USB 3.0 card in 3, so this disrupted the x4 to x1, so the Pro/1000T Dual server would not function. So after about 1 hour of rebuilding my PC that I wanted this card in, it worked. Windows update installed driver, I ran the latest Intel drivers,LACP team set up with my switch, now have a 2Gbe LAN connection. Just proves my Dell T3400 is the dog, no tricky setting that require 30 minutes of Motherboard Manual reading and only spotted it on the third pass can prove problematic so apologies to all concerned I am now a very happy punter. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel PRO/1000 Pt Dual Port Server Adapter - Samsung 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E1T0B/AM - Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/289256543-intel-pro-1000pt-dual-server](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/289256543-intel-pro-1000pt-dual-server) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
