I bought a 2.5Gbe PCIe adapter on amazon.com last month. It cost me $19.98 plus tax. But now it is $25.89.
It is a small box with the brand name on the front, ubit. I have no idea what kind of brand it is.
I opened the box. You can see the all stuff inside.
- one PCIe adapter
- a user manual
- a screwdriver
- a pack of screws
Look the card closer.
I checked the Ubit official website, the model is LE8105. Chipset is Realtek 8125BG.
This PCIe 2.5Gbe adapter is installed in my Proxmox Ve system. I make an iperf3 test on it. My desktop is running with a 10Gbe card. I run iperf3 as a server on the Proxmox Ve. The result is shown below.

I am happy with the result. I can get 2.36Gbits/sec on a 2.5Gbe network card.
