Dual-Port 10Gb Ethernet Adapter
This Dell X520 DA card adds two 10Gb Ethernet ports through a single PCI Express slot. It is built for servers and workstations that need high-throughput wired networking. The dual-port design supports link aggregation or separate network segments.

Questions about this item
What is the first limit the X520 DA 10Gb adapter hits under sustained load?
The dual-port card delivers two 10 Gb Ethernet links over a PCIe slot, so sustained throughput is capped at the 10 Gb line rate per port.
How much extra heat and noise does the X520 DA add when running all day?
The adapter weighs 5.1 and measures 1 by 1 by 1, a compact passive design that adds minimal heat and no fan noise to a continuously running server.
