Works as advertised in proxmox
Great solution to make most out of limited PCIe lanes/slots. Fits in compact systems, unlike the extra long Synology card. Unless you really need m.2 cards in 22100 length, I'm not sure why anyone would choose that big of a card. I put this qnap card into an HP t740 thin client, installed proxmox 8 on a mirror of the drives I installed on the card. Proxmox boots off of the drives on the card no problem and recognizes the 10G nic out of the box. Haven't tested for an extended period yet, but so far the only negative is the fan noise being somewhat annoying, just like the qnap 4-port nic card I had previously. As for price, when you consider prices of a standalone 1 port 10g nic + m.2 card with an active pcie switch, it's not too bad either.

it works!
both network interface and ssd’s working fine

Works well with HPE Microserver Gen10 Plus
HPE removed PCIE bifurcation support from the later BIOS of my server. It comes handy with dual M.2 and 10G Ethernet in one go. Recognized automatically by UnRAID and the fan PWM worked as intended.

Could be better. Not good for virtualization. Oversubscribed PCIe bandwidth.
The Aquantia/Marvell NIC is behind a PCIe switch which groups all devices (NVMe and NIC) under a single IOMMU group. As a result, this device isn't compatible with QEMU/LXD/Xen/etc NIC passthrough.The device oversubscribes PCIe bandwidth and shares a single Gen 3 PCIe x8 interface across the 10Gbit NIC and 2x NVMe devices. With two NVMe devices installed, downloads at line rate from the network directly to the NVMe devices results in slower than maximum speeds.An ideal design for my application would utilize PCIe x16 and a PCIe switch which supports separating devices into their own IOMMU groups. If you're just using this to add a single NVMe device and 10Gbit NIC which you don't plan on using with device passthrough, these issues don't apply.

Comes with all the accessories
If you need ao 10Ge card and the ability to add two m.2 drives this is a great card. It comes with heat sinks for the m.2 drives and brackets for full and half height.

Great product
Qnap.....the best NAS solution.

Product works, but is limited by system hardware
I purchased this for my QNAP TS-464 NAS. Installing the card was simple, including the AI module and SSD that I added prior to installation. I directly connected the 10Gb port to my PCs 10Gb port and the throughput is the same as when I connected to the NAS's 2.5Gb port. After researching, I found that the hardware limitation is on the system bus in the NAS. The PCH used by the CPU is bandwidth limited to roughly a 2.5Gb connection (1.6Gbps). In retrospect, I would have purchased the expansion card with 2 x 2.5Gb ports, as I could directly connect one of those ports and have the second port available for use.

Incapable of handling the 10gbps network + writing/reading to m2s at same time.
Don't know which NAS this is for but the qnap TS-653D can't reading/writing to m2s while also transferring data through the nic. For example if you were to say create a raid1 with 2 M2 drives and then start formatting them you will only get like 50 MB/s read/write speeds to the NAS during that format.
