ASUSTOR Launches AS-T10G2 10 Gigabit Ethernet Card
The all-new AS-T10G2 is here, bringing increased efficiency and speeds to the much beloved AS-T10G. The AS-T10G2 uses the AQC-107 controller, which offers increased performance, and lower power requirements. Using the Lockerstor 16R Pro, transfer rates were found to be up to 1127 MB/s when reading and 1124 MB/s when writing. The AS-T10G2 also supports IP, TCP, UDP checksum offload to reduce CPU usage for a more efficient experience.
The AS-T10G2 is equipped with a 10 Gbps 8p8c RJ-45 Ethernet port. The AS-T10G2 supports automatic switching between all major Ethernet speeds and is compatible with four lanes of PCI Express 3.0. Pop it into an ASUSTOR NAS running ADM 4.0 or a PC to upgrade network speeds to 10-Gigabit Ethernet. The AS-T10G2 is compatible with both full-height and half-height computers, making it compatible with almost any device featuring a PCI Express slot, ensuring affordable, yet high speed networking for both homes and businesses.

TP-Link goes for the equivalent of $86 here.
As all these cards are based on Aquantia, there shouldn't really be such a huge spread in cost difference.
Unfortunately you can't get the Aquantia cards any more, but they were normally retailing for around $80-90 as well. I got two of them for about $70 each during their black Friday special some years ago and they've been rock solid once they released a firmware that worked with AMD Ryzen...
