Works well
Works well for what I needed it for

Great Value
Looking specifically for an Intel chipset 2.5GB NIC and this one was recommended somewhere on Reddit. Works great and was compatible with Windows after I found the right drivers. The second time I set this up on a fresh Windows install it just worked right away so the driver thing was probably a Windows issue. Anyway, itโs speed seems to be as advertised, itโs easy to install if youโre comfortable with computers and itโs been perfectly stable for me for several months now. Great value for money if you have the extra PCI slot and donโt want to spend even more to upgrade your motherboard.

Slow to connect from standby
The additional speed and compatibility with my ThinkCentre were very welcome, all file transfers etc have the hoped for boost. It seems to take 5-10 seconds to wake up and reconnect to the network after a sleep mode/ standby period with the PC, but that's long enough to make sure your tea is properly stirred.

Is revision 03, but be wary of Linux/BSD use
Edit: as of XigmaNAS 13.1.0.5.9725 this adapter is now recognized and works as-expected! Thanks to ms49434 and zoon01 for applying a kernel patch to accept the PHY that is present. Original review follows. The adapter arrived in a small, cardboard box. The heatsink is attached securely. A hardware check indicates that the chip is revision 03. Under Windows 10/11, the adapter is usable with no additional effort or configuration on the user's side. Under Linux/FreeBSD, the adapter may or may not work depending on the version of the driver used to attempt init. Under FreeBSD specifically, support for the I225 was added in 13.1 via ๐๐๐, however the driver performs an unnecessary PHY vendor ID check, which may fail if the adapter reports an ID that isn't listed in an internal table. The fix (recommended by Intel themselves) is to no longer perform this check and instead assume a PHY for all I225 adapters. This fix is available in FreeBSD 13.2 and/or 14, and would need to be backported if using anything earlier. Examples; TrueNAS Scale 22.12.0 supports this adapter, while XigmaNAS 13.1.0.5.9687 (latest as of this review) includes ๐๐๐, but fails to init with the adapter I received.
