Which NIC (LACP)?

[Chris230291]

Hello. I'm looking for some advice in regards to which NIC I should buy. It needs to have 2 ports because I want to set up LACP. Other than that I guess the only other requirement is that it's a decent one without costing a fortune.

Any suggestions are appreciated,
Chris.

There are 2-4 port intel net adapters on ebay.

Where is the sticky? I've had a look but I can't find it.

There are 2-4 port intel net adapters on ebay.

Which one should I choose though? I heard that not all of them are supported by FreeNas and/or do not operate at true gigabit speeds.

All intel gbit are well supported.

I almost grabbed this one:
Brand: Winyao ( :D )
MODEL: WYI350-T4
Chipset: intel i350

Yes, it's made & diffused in P.R.C. It's based on a great Intel chipset, I've heard good feedback for this one.
Since it's cheap, it is worth to try if you can grab one.

Ok thanks. So would this be a good choice?

It's good. I have at least 6 in production and 2 at home.

Better late than never, I'm only just getting around to start buying.

Thanks,
