Cool, I wonder how well they work. That could be a great way for me to add 10Gbe to some of the tiny devices I use for my homelab since they don't have normal PCIe slots for expansion.

From the post:

>Realtek introduced the RTL8127 10GbE to PCIe NIC at Computex 2025 last May as a low-power, low-cost 10Gbps Ethernet solution for PCIe and M.2 networking cards with an estimated price of around $30 to $40. The good news is that 10GbE PCIe and M.2 cards are now available for sale, just not always at the expected price points. Let’s have a look at some of the options available.

Its very common in DC's (even in medium businesses). It is becoming more and more common. My home network is slowly being converted to 10gb as I have time/need for it. I do have pretty good internet but not good enough to take advantage of that amount of BW yet but it will be there eventually. Until then, my internal network is super fast to my homelab/storage server(s)/desktops/etc.

Do you know if Fiber internet uses this to it's full effect?

Depends on where you live. There might be some places where you can get 10gb+. Most areas I am aware of max out at 5gb for the most part. The majority of people barely even "fully" use 1gb to the home.

I guess if you are running plex and streaming your movie library it makes sense. I mean I like fast network transfer of files as much as the next guy, but how is it useful for anyone but tech bros that just want to have a dick measuring contest?
