What's the best dual-port copper 10GbE card for client use? Specifically for machines that standby/resume in Windows 11 as required by Energy Star.
We've been using two AQC133C cards but that takes an extra slot. Aquantia drivers are somewhat reasonable at resuming from standby (we still get the occasional network error from web sites on resume though, e.g. Reddit). It's also annoying that Marvell doesn't distribute drivers or firmware anymore, and the card vendor (e.g. Gigabyte) doesn't update them either, so you have to go driver hunting on the Windows Update Catalog.
I don't see a dual AQC113C card except from QNAP and in my experience their cards only work in their NAS. I got their dual X710 card and it doesn't work in any PC I tried.
What about the Intel X710-T2L? Does it have decent resume from standby behavior or does it cause disconnections every time like X550 did?
We are using dual 10GbE for SMB Multichannel.
