I recently tested a few SFP+ and SFP28 cards and DACs/AOCs with Unraid, so I thought I’d share my findings in hopes that I can help someone else upgrade to something that is compatible. As you know by scanning through the Unraid Forum and Reddit, it can be hit or miss with SFP+ & SFP28, DACs/AOCs, and Unraid support.
All of the testing was on my own AMD-based Unraid machine. Here’s the specs on Unraid:
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO V2, Bios Version F18d, the network cards were place in the second PCIe slot labeled “PCI Express x16 slot (PCIEX4), Supporting PCIe 3.0 x4 mode”
Unraid Version: 7.0.1
Switch: Mikrotik CRS310-8G+2S+IN
eBay Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134979859540 (sold out already, but there are hundreds of these listed)
I bought it on eBay used for $39.99 USD. Based on my research, Dell branded vs non-Dell branded didn’t make a difference since I read that you can install Intel firmware on both versions. However, I tried upgrading firmware on Linux and Windows 11 machines using the Intel firmware, but ran into errors, so I did not upgrade with Intel firmware. Instead, I used Dell firmware on a Windows 11 host and the upgrade process was smooth (see firmware upgrade section below). Besides the firmware upgrade, I only unlocked the card – see the footnotes for how to unlock a card to work with any brand-encoded cables. Before and after the upgrade and unlock, Unraid 7.0.1 picked up the card with no additional packages needed so it was basically plug-and-play. I unlocked the card before trying it with Unraid, so I don’t know if it would have been picky with the cables below. However, later you’ll see that the locked XXV710-DA2 also did not have any issues with any of the three cables so I doubt I even needed the unlock on the X710-DA2.
Power consumption changes were unnoticeable on my machine. It continued to bounce around 50-60W at the wall.
Cables tested successfully and at full 10Gbe speeds:
I’d recommend the X710-DA2 + the Gtek SFP28 DAC (Intel version) if I needed a surefire solution. However, see the option below for a 25Gbe card that is just as compatible and only $10 more!
eBay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/196538640857
I also bought this card a week apart from the V710-DA2 and swapped this into the Unraid machine instead.
Long story short, it works with all three cables listed above and I did not unlock it. I took it out of the eBay packaging and plugged it into the Unraid Machine, and it was good to go! I’m running it with the Gtek SFP28 cable that I mentioned above, but only at SFP+ speeds since I’m still limited by the Mikrotik SFP+ switch.
I don’t see a reason why anyone should go with the V710-DA2 if the XXV710-DA2 is plug-and-play, newer, supports ASPM, can go up to 25Gbe, but can also run at 10Gbe, and is only $10 USD more!
TL;DR, go with the Intel XXV710-DA2 and a Gtek SFP28 cable (intel version) and call it a day.
Power consumption, is also around the same place as before. i.e. 50-60W for the Unraid server at the wall.

Kernel driver in use: i40e
Kernel modules: i40eAs noted above, I’m still trying to figure out why ASPM is disabled. This is the case for both the X710-DA2 and the XXV710-DA2, on both Unraid and Ubuntu 24.04. I enabled PCIe ASPM Mode “L1 Entry” on both motherboards, along with running powertop --auto-tune but no matter what, I’m still not seeing ASPM enabled via lspci command. Let me know if you have any ideas.
I followed this guide, but simplified the instructions.
As mentioned above, all three cables worked fine on the locked XXV710-DA2, so I don’t think I personally needed to unlock the X710-DA2, but here is how I did it in case you need to unlock yours for your application.
# I was on Ubuntu 24.04, so your instruction can vary
# 1 - Install v710 card in machine (I did not test with XXV710)
# 2 - Clone repo and compile code, repo is kinda old, but code worked fine
git clone https://github.com/bibigon812/xl710-unlocker.git
cd xl710-unlocker/
make
chmod +x xl710_unlock
# 3 get device name
sudo lshw -class network -short
# H/W path Device Class Description

# Above the device name is "enp36s0f0np0", you just need to pick one of the devices even though it has 2 ports
# 4 unlock the card with this command:
./xl710_unlock -n enp36s0f0np0
# EMP SR offset: 0x67f1
# PHY offset: 0x6941
# PHY data struct size: 0x000d

# MISC: 0x6b0c <- locked
# MISC: 0x6b0c <- locked

# Ready to fix it? [y/N]: y
# That's it, it was pretty straight forward. Then I moved the card to my unraid machine.Here is a speed test using the XXV710-DA2 -> Mikrotik -> X710-DA2
Unraid had the Intel X710-DA2 with the cable 10Gtek 25G SFP28 SFP+ DAC Cable to Mikrotik CRS310-8G+2S+IN, then to Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop with XXV710-DA2 with the AOC OM2 cable.
Success! speed went from 942 Mbits/sec to 9.02 Gbits/sec.
To start here is the version on X710-DA2, taken from Ubuntu 24.04. Notice firmware version 9.20.
