Item works well but changing from full to low profile bracket has odd screw head
This item works well in the SFF computer it is fitted to. I had to change over from the full height bracket to the low profile bracket (supplied in the box). The 2 screws holding on the bracket are an unusual head and do not fit a Philips or torx, etc. A small “screwdriver” is supplied but it has a very narrow handle and if a screw was stuck/tight, you would have a problem changing the bracket.

While it works, it is based on I225 - which is known to have issues
As mentioned, this is an I225 controller, which are known to have issues. I wanted this item to get the maximum download speeds from my 2gb internet connection, which it delivered. However I would not use this for online gaming as you can get connectivity problems (do a Google search for I225 problems).

Compatible with Truenas
The card works out of the box with Truenas 13.x. It autodetects fine and I'm getting speeds up to 2.5Gbps.The only issue with this card is the low profile bracket. I found that its not a great fit and sits slightly proud of where you screw it into the case. I packed this out with a bit of plastic and all is well now.

This card barely works
Don't buy this. I had severe connectivity issues with it (turns out its common for early intel i225 chips) until i broke the warranty and did a manual firmware update on it. It took me an hour to find one that would work. then it took me another hour to get it to flash (which if that goes wrong will brick your card). Just get an intel i226 chip instead, they work out of the box. this card in it's as delivered state is nothing short of faulty.
