Thunderbolt NIC?

[91Chris]

Hello. Can anyone recommend a good Thunderbolt dual port Gigabit NIC? I'm trying to keep my case free of PCI cards if possible. I dont want to go down the route of getting a Thunderbolt enclosure because that will be stupid money.

The only ones I have seen are the single port Apple ones. Anyone know if they're any good?

 

Cheers,

Chris.

I don't think you can get any.

Do you want it to go to thunderbolt or ethernet?

I have the apple one, and it works as advertised

The Apple ethernet adapter works just fine for me.

Not sure one exists other than getting a network card in an enclosure

 

Why do you need dual NIC?

 

the apple ones work great

edit

dual are hard to find and might be more expinsive

[ShadowCaptain]

he also asked if the single apple one was any good

 

I know I realised that hence why I edited my post ^^

Thunderbolt to Ethernet (turns a Thunderbolt port into an Ethernet port).

 

Dual is for LAG.

 

Do the Apple ones behave in Windows? Do they show up as a PCI device or something? I have a GA-Z77X-UP5 TH mobo.

 

EDIT: I just noticed that LAG is only in the server version of Windows. Does this mean I'd need a NIC that has the option built into the driver?
