Trying to find a 'genuine' 10G Intel X550-T2 NIC on Amazon... only fakes available?

Hi all -

There are many of these cards - some 10Gtek, some StarTech but all of these are fulfilment orders by Amazon; look under the ‘Add to Card’ buttons, where it lists the seller (non-Amazon); on the main page it says “By Intel” but that’s false.

Seller comments all seem to indicate that these are clones. Some don’t support Jumbo frames either.

I need to add these to my FreeNAS box, so avoiding Aquantia completely as there is no BSD compatible driver (other than some PoCs on Github).

So… where can I get a legit Intel 10G NIC? @wendell @SgtAwesomesauce

Thanks!, Mike.

In the US? Try Provantage.com they have pretty good prices on legitimate enterprise gear if you’re in the US.
