Seems like a worthwhile comparison. Hopefully the anecdotal report helps. Ubiquiti does have a wide product range and I wish I could say I considered it reliable.
I'll drop a note here if the TP-Link stuff starts flaking out, but so far it's been better stability-wise than the Ubiquiti gear it...
I was using Ubiquity UAP-AC-PRO and AC-Lite gear across multiple sites for years (my home, parents, in-laws, cabin in the woods). They weren't very good/stable with firmware. Depending on the "stable" firmware generation I'd have devices just stop passing traffic and APs doing the same at times...
Thanks! This worked for me as well against the HP branded cards from a recentish thread (HP 649281-B21 ConnectX-3 VPI MCX354A-FCBT $35 + $8 shipping OBO ebay). I did not need to short anything.
All of mine said 314a pro.
I tested with my lb6m and iperf3.
At this point they are in “homeprod” and have been running without issue.

@I_D I have one (T320) and there doesn't seem to be any way to use it in esx (6.5). It's going on my proxmox box because of that, so while the price point is great support is not depending on what you're trying to do. If anyone has these working in esx 6.5 let me know.
I put three of them in one of my boxes. I'm seeing different info from these. Two say something like:
Device Type: ConnectX3Pro
Part Number: MCX314A-BCC_PROMISCUS_VLAN_Ax
Description: ConnectX-3 Pro EN network interface card; 40GigE; dual-port QSFP; PCIe3.0 x8 8GT/s; RoHS R6...
My second order just arrived and these included both the low profile and full height brackets. I haven’t tested them yet

I just updated the firmware on one and it shows up as a pro:

So far, yes. I'm able to pass traffic on both ports with the two cards. I'm using a qsfp to sfp+ adapter, so ymmv. I only have 10gb switches available for testing. I've ordered some more cards, I'll report back when I get them. Later this week hopefully I'll be cutting over to these cards for...
I picked up two as a test. I had to strip the low profile brackets but it looks like both ports work on them. I tested with an sfp+ adapter connected to a dac. Just some basic functionality testing, link, ping, etc.
I'm including the instructions. Roughly it's from the original post but I did find another variant in the same forums. I used the tools zip from the 2nd post from this link: Fujitsu D2607-8i - Crossflash to LSI 9211-8i
I needed an extra reboot before assigning the original sas address
