Credit: TP-Link Published Nov 13, 2026, 1:10 PM EST Sign in to your XDA account Moving large files between a PC and a NAS over a standard Gigabit connection can feel slower than it should be, especially when fast SSDs sit idle on the network. If you've been looking to fix that, a 10Gbps network card is one way to do it, provided the rest of your gear can keep up. Luckily, Amazon has the TP-Link 10Gbps PCIe network card down to $60, 39% off its regular price of $100. This deal is only available until the end of the day, however, so act now before the price changes back tomorrow. TP-Link TX401 10 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter Brand TP-Link Cable Included No DATA TRANSFER RATE 10 Gbps CONNECTOR Ethernet Dimensions 4.76 × 3.87 × 0.85 in Weight 3.2 oz The TP-Link TX401 is a PCIe network card that adds a 10GBase-T Ethernet port to a desktop PC. It supports 10 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, and 100 Mbps speeds and includes a 1.5 m CAT6A cable and a low-profile bracket. Tons of value for a speed boost A straightforward upgrade for faster file transfers The main draw of the TP-Link TX401 is undoubtedly the speed. You get up to 10 Gbps over 10GBase-T, which TP-Link says is about ten times faster than typical Gigabit adapters. If you edit high-resolution video or run a large media server, that's the kind of headroom that matters when you're moving big folders of footage. Just keep in mind that's TP-Link's figure—it's not a spec we've been able to test. The card uses a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot and has a single RJ45 port. It's backward-compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, and it automatically negotiates with slower connections, so you can keep an older Gigabit switch in the mix if needed. TP-Link also lists support for modern Windows OSes and Linux, so the TX401 isn't too limited in terms of operating systems. You're only out of luck if you run macOS. There are two brackets available out of the box: one standard-sized bracket, and a low-profile bracket for mini-tower cases. The card measures 120.8 by 98.2 by 21.5mm, and it's rated for 0-40°C at 10-90% humidity, so the TX401 Just, as always, keep a few things in mind before adding this one to your cart. TP-Link says the drivers may need updating after an OS update, so it's worth knowing where to find the latest files before you update. Both ends of a link need to support the speed you're after, so this makes the most sense if you also have a NAS, switch, or second PC that can handle Gigabit speeds. And if your PC mostly handles browsing and streaming, you don't need the speed increase this adapter offers and it will go to waste, so you can skip the upgrade. At $60 from Amazon, which is 39% below the regular $99.99, this is a practical choice if you need more bandwidth than a standard Gigabit port offers. Pick one up before the deal ends today.
