Realtek 2.5G RTL8125B Network card any good?

Cyber-Mav · 13 Jul 2024 at 23:53

anyone got one of these cards? seems to be cheapo at 6 quid. im guessing worth a punt at that price, do they hit the speed and are stable and reliable?
Id be using it in windows only.

Well iv had these 2.5gb cards in 2 computers for a few days now and no issues. Today the cheapo 2.5gb switch arrived and it's working great. Gone from average 110megabytes per second network transfer to 263megabytes per second. This gives the much needed boost I was after.
Very happy so far. Will get pics up later

Thanks for taking the time to come back and answer, after being your own guinea pig

I'm now interested in trying these out - cheers!

I’m using a USB version on my NAS and have used a USB C version with my iPhone and have hit over 2Gb on speed tests with my ISP so yeah they are decent enough.

I made a mistake I should have bought one more of these 2.5g cards for my n40l micro server when they were cheap. Will wait for next Ali sale and grab one. Can put micro server back to use then with faster transfers

No issues here.

I have been using a few of these for a good while now. Absolutely zero issues with them and spot on transfer rates with my home network.
