    Cheap, low-profile x710-da4 on AliExpress - experiences?

    There are a few options for cheap-ish x710-da4 quad SFP+ low-profile cards on Ali Express. They all look the same. Here is one. The x710 appears appealing as it allows for the CPU to enter the lower power modes. (ASPM) Anyone tried one of these cheap cards in one of the Lenovo tinymicrominis...
