    List of NICs and their equivalent OEM parts

    For the famous NICs, usually the win server drivers are compatible with the windows with the same primary version number. So I think the win server 2022 drivers have a large possibility to be compatible with win 10.

    List of NICs and their equivalent OEM parts

    Usually, the unpopular Intel OEM brands will have much less counterfeits, like the Intel OEMed Cisco, Fujitsu, Supermicro, etc. brands. If the installation method is bare metal, not using hypervisors, personally I will recommend i340-t4 OEMs, less counterfeits than i350-t4 which can do SR-IOV.

    ASRock Rack 2U1G-B650 2U AMD Ryzen GPU Server Review

    It looks more like a rack-mountable single-GPU workstation or FPGA server. I think its most attractive feature is the short-depth design.

    I used 2 and a half afternoons to find out the QNAP bios cannot find all the UEFI partions on all the sata drives, and successfully install the proxmox. Maybe I paid too much time on the things to keep the QNAP OS on the emmc.
