Unlock Blazing-Fast 10GbE Network Speeds for Your Professional Workflow
Eliminate network bottlenecks and supercharge your productivity with the Sonnet Presto 10GbE Dual SFP+ PCIe 2.0 Network Adapter Card. Purpose-built for creative professionals, IT administrators, and power users, this high-performance card delivers data transfer speeds up to 10 times faster than a standard Gigabit Ethernet connection. By removing the single biggest obstacle in your workflow—slow network speeds—you can dramatically accelerate high-bandwidth tasks. Seamlessly integrate this powerful adapter into your Mac Pro®, Windows® PC, or Linux® server to experience a new level of efficiency.
Whether you're editing multi-stream 4K video directly from a server, transferring massive datasets for backup, or managing a high-performance shared storage system, the Presto 10GbE card is engineered to keep pace with your most demanding projects. Its dual SFP+ slots offer exceptional flexibility, allowing you to connect to nearly any network infrastructure. Choose from short or long-range fiber optic transceivers, cost-effective 10GBASE-T copper, or direct-attach Twinax cables (transceivers sold separately) to ensure perfect compatibility with your existing environment.
Sonnet has engineered the Presto card for uncompromising reliability and advanced performance. Intelligent features like Transparent Failover maintain your network connection even if a cable is disconnected or a port fails, guaranteeing maximum uptime. For ultimate throughput, configure Link Aggregation (teaming) to combine both 10GbE ports into a single, lightning-fast 20GbE connection. The card's architecture is optimized for low host-CPU utilization, freeing up your computer’s processing power for critical applications. Furthermore, if your machine lacks a free PCIe slot but has a Thunderbolt™ port, the Presto card is fully compatible with Sonnet's Echo™ Express and xMac™ Thunderbolt-to-PCIe expansion systems, bringing 10GbE connectivity to a wider range of computers.
