The network card in the desktop is Asus XG-C100C. All tests were run from the nas with the desktop acting as an iperf server. For the test the 10G interface is .239, the 1G interface is .198. If the 10G interface was being tested the 1G interface was disabled and vice versa. I used 6FT cat 6 cables into the uplink ports. The switch used is the Netgear GS110MX.

Decent speeds and for a relatively low cost it brings big performance gains. Its smaller than I expected, not that that matters. Device was plug-and-play. No issues dropping it into an Arch Linux box, no config required


This card also supports 2.5/5 Gbit rates, as well as directly attaching to another 10GbE card. You don't need a 10GbE switch to use it. Also, if you're using CAT 5e/6, I strongly suggest at least CAT 6A. It is the same price but is more stable for higher bandwidth.
[Edit - 2/2021 - Windows update]
Aquantia was acquired by Marvell in 2019. ASUS does not appear to be keeping their Windows drivers up to date, so you should just get them directly from Marvell (search for AQC107 drivers on Marvell's site and you'll find both firmware and windows drivers). This can be applied to any AQC107 based NICs.
[Edit - Linux info]
For a bit of background, this card, as well as the Gigabyte GC-AQC107 (10GbE Network Adapter Pci-E X4 Card with RJ-45 Port) and manufacturer Aquantia AQtion 10G Pro NIC use the same Aquantia AQtion AQC107 chipset. The only mild difference between the cards is the size of the heatsink, so pick whatever looks like the best option. In Linux, the driver for this is called atlantic. This driver was added to the default Linux kernel as of version 4.11. That means that it is baked in to Ubuntu 18.04 and later.
And for those wondering about sustained transfer rates/overheating, I've done iperf3 testing and am able to transfer at a continual average rate of 9.37 Gb/s for at least 10 minutes.

iperf Done.

Linux (Ubuntu server 16.04) was a pain. Only method ended up being through "insmod atlantic.ko" see below for details.
Performance so far (connected PC-to-PC without a switch), has been flawless. I am connecting over 150 feet of cable & can transfer four hard drives at full speed without any discernible bottlenecks. highly recommend the card!
----------------------------------
Ubuntu server 16.04 installation:
1) clean install of Ubuntu 16.04.
2) install the build-essential package from apt
3) download the Asus 5.0.0.5 driver for the XG-C100C to /home/USER , unzip the file to reveal the Atlantic1.5.348.0.tar.bz2 archive, and then unpack it: tar -xvjf /home/USER/Atlantic1.5.348.0.tar.bz2
4) Navigate to the new /home/USER/Atlantic directory and run: make , which should then generate an "atlantic.ko" file.
5) Once you have that file in place (check!), edit the network interfaces file: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces , and set the static IP for your card (in this case, it occupied the enp1s0 slot, you'll need to check which slot it sits in) something like the following:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
auto enp1s0
iface enp1s0 inet static
address 10.10.10.20
netmask 255.255.255.0
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
5a) to do a temporary installation, run: sudo insmod /home/USER/Atlantic/atlantic.ko (this will only last till a reboot). This should bring the card to life & you can test.
6) To finalize your installation (so the driver will persist after a reboot), run: sudo nano /etc/rc.local , and edit your rc.local file to include insmod /home/USER/Atlantic/atlantic.ko , below the #!/bin/sh -e at the top of the file, and above the exit 0 at the bottom something like the following:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
#!/bin/sh -e
#etc
insmod /home/USER/Atlantic/atlantic.ko
exit 0
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Nb. In my setup, the computer this linux server connected to had a static IP set to 10.10.10.10/255.255.255.0 and it was connected directly pc-to-pc with an ordinary cat6 cable.
Nb. For the above installation, if you use your home/USER directory for other items, you might want to place the Atlantic driver in a different directory than this one...

a. You must go to View Network Connections (same as change adapters)
b. Double click on the network card
c. Pick Properties
d. Then select CONFIGURE
e. Now go to the ADVANCED TAB
f. Scroll down to TCP/UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4) – select this with mouse turns blue
g. Look at the VALUE box upper right (it says Rx & Tx Enabled)
h. You must DISABLE this value - you hit the dropdown, where it says Rx & Tx Enabled, box and pick DISABLE
i. Hit OK and it will reset the network card and it should now work
I was having problems loading specific websites and my Tomato open source router web login would not work. All other network cards would allow everything to work. My online trading website would crash at random. Pulled my hair out over this then found this setting.
Hope it helps someone - wasted 3 hours of my life on this ASUS XG-C100C driver bugs (date 05-28-2020)
