Slow data transfers can cripple your server workloads, especially when handling AI or high-performance computing tasks. The Intel X710DA2BLK, 10 Gigabit SFP+ PCI Express 3.0 Network Adapter Card delivers blazing-fast 10 GbE connectivity, letting you move massive datasets without bottlenecks. Plug it into a PCIe 3.0 slot and enjoy reliable, low-latency networking that keeps your applications running at peak efficiency.
Intel X710DA2BLK, 10 Gigabit SFP+ PCI Express 3.0 Network Adapter Card - Powering Your Data-Intensive Workloads
Modern servers demand more bandwidth than ever, yet many still rely on legacy 1 GbE links that slow down critical processes. This limitation leads to longer job runtimes, missed deadlines, and frustrated users. The Intel X710DA2BLK, 10 Gigabit SFP+ PCI Express 3.0 Network Adapter Card solves the problem by providing two 10 GbE SFP+ ports and two RJ-45 ports, all backed by Intel’s X710 controller. With PCIe 3.0 x8 lanes, you get up to 10 000 Mbit/s transfer rates, QoS support, and advanced offloads that free CPU cycles for the real work.
Benefits
You gain ultra-fast 10 GbE speeds that cut data transfer times dramatically, while QoS ensures critical traffic always gets priority. Intel’s Virtualization Technology (VT-c) and VMDq offload processing from the host CPU, improving overall system performance. The dual-port design offers redundancy and flexibility, and the built-in LED indicators make troubleshooting simple. Plus, the card’s conflict-free, FCC-certified design meets strict compliance standards for reliable deployment.
