So I'm fairly new to truenas, I've just set up raids and samba in a Linux distro before, but I'm aware it's not the most efficient way!
This week I've been working on a 'high speed NAS' build. It's running:
Ryzen 7 1700
16gb RAM
ASUS PRIME B450M-A II
Intel X550-T2 NIC
2x Crucial MX500 2tb (Pool drives)
1x Crucial MX500 1tb (boot drive)
TrueNAS-12.0-U5.1
Connected directly (no router or switch) to my PC (running an ASUS XG-C100C) over Cat-8.

I set it up with the Intel card on Wednesday, and it's been fine till today (copying files at 1.05GB/s off my NVME drive!) But this morning, I noticed it wasn't connected, so I restarted it. And then just now it was offline again. I haven't been using it today, apart from reconnecting this morning and I did a quick test file transfer as well.

Any idea what might be causing this?
I did read that realtek network drivers could cause issues, which is what is onboard the motherboard and I did do my initial set up using that (for a couple of reasons, that I won't go into) and then changed it to use the Intel card, but set that up on a different IP address. Is there a way to disable/unset up the onboard networking?
If it matters, the intel ip is 11.0.0.1 and the Realtek is 10.0.0.1 (but this has nothing plugged into it any longer.) Both on the default gateway. It's also only set up on one of the ports on the intel card.

I posted this on /r/truenas as well, and a user there thought it might be a general issue with U5 as they'd had similar issues. I was wondering if anyone here thought the same, or had any further suggestions?

You can probably turn the NIC off in the BIOS
