IO Crest 6x 2.5GbE PCIe NIC Mini-Review
Recently, we purchased a bunch of different NICs to test. One of the more interesting was this IO Crest (IOCrest?) 6x 2.5GbE PCIe NIC. The part number is not used as much online, but it is IO-PCE8125B-6GLAN. The appeal of this card should be apparent, it has six 2.5GbE ports onboard. Still, it feels a bit like trickery since normally that would require six PCIe lanes, but this is only a PCIe x4 card. It turns out, there is something else going on here.
