The dual port QXG-1G2T-X71 is a PCIe Gen 3 (compatible with PCIe Gen 2)1GbE network expansion card with an Intel Ethernet Controller X71 and supports up to five speeds (1G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 1M). By using Port Trunking, both ports can be combined to achieve up to 2Gbps transfer speeds for accelerating file sharing and intensive data transfer. With SR-IOV and iSCSI support, the QXG-1G2T-X71 greatly boosts network efficiency and is ideal for I/O-intensive and latency-sensitive virtualization applications and data centers.
Build a 1GbE Network Environment
The QXG-1G2T-X71 can be used with QNAP’s 1GbE switches, such as the QSW-M218-2C or QSW-128-8C, for you to build a budget-friendly high-speed network environment.
Supports SR-IOV and iSCSI, Achieve the Best Virtualization Environment
The QXG-1G2T-X71 supports SR-IOV, which can allocate bandwidth resources from a physical network card directly to VMs. It ensures reliable VM applications and reduced CPU overheads. The QXG-1G2T-X71 also supports iSCSI, which enables computers, servers, or virtual machines to use storage from your QNAP NAS as virtual disks. You can partition, format, and use these virtual disks exactly like local disks, or even use them for storage expansion or as backup destinations.
Supports Windows and Linux servers/workstations
Besides QNAP devices, the QXG-1G2T-X71 supports Windows® 1, Windows Server®, and Linux ( driver required), allowing you to attain optimal business performance for a wider range of system applications and services.
