QNAP QXG-100G2SF-E810 – 100GbE Network Card

Overview

The QNAP QXG-100G2SF-E810 is an ultra-high-speed dual-port 100GbE network expansion card built on the Intel Ethernet Controller E810. Designed for enterprise data centers and all-flash storage environments, it utilizes a PCIe Gen 4 x16 interface to provide up to 200Gbps of total throughput. Systems engineers integrate this card into high-end NAS units or Windows/Linux servers to eliminate bandwidth bottlenecks in I/O-intensive virtualization and large-scale backup operations.

Technical capability is defined by its support for Forward Error Correction (FEC), which ensures reliable data transmission over noisy or long-distance fiber channels by correcting bit errors at the receiving end. The card supports advanced network offloading technologies, including iWARP/RDMA and SR-IOV, which significantly reduce CPU overhead and latency. This makes it a critical component for high-performance computing (HPC) and low-latency cloud applications.

Deployment is optimized for QNAP's flagship all-flash arrays, such as the TS-h2490FU, and is compatible with standard 19-inch rackmount servers. The card is hot-swappable in supported chassis and comes with pre-installed low-profile brackets, with full-height alternatives included. It is intended for use with QSFP28 switches and cables; it should not be used in legacy PCIe Gen 2 or x4 slots as it will significantly throttle the 100Gbps performance potential.
