In the context of network adapters, interface and form factor refer to the physical characteristics of the adapter that determine how it connects to the computer or server and its size and shape.
Interface refers to the type of interface used by the adapter to connect to the computer or server. For example, some adapters use a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface, while others use a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. The type of interface used by the adapter will depend on the type of computer or server it is being used with, as well as the available expansion slots or ports.
Form factor refers to the physical size and shape of the adapter. This includes the dimensions of the adapter itself, as well as any connectors or ports that it includes. Form factor is important because it determines how the adapter will fit into the computer or server, and whether it will require additional space or hardware to be installed.
Some common form factors for network adapters include full-height PCIe cards, half-height PCIe cards, and small form factor (SFF) adapters that are designed to fit into compact server or storage systems. The form factor of an adapter will depend on the specific requirements of the computer or server it is being used with, as well as the available space and expansion options.
Bandwidth CapabilitiesBandwidth capabilities refer to the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a network adapter in a given amount of time, typically measured in bits per second (bps) or bytes per second (Bps).
The bandwidth capabilities of a network adapter are determined by several factors, including the interface used by the adapter, the number of ports it has, and the speed of each port. For example, a network adapter with a 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface can transmit data at a maximum rate of 10 gigabits per second (Gbps), while a 100 Gigabit Ethernet adapter can transmit data at a maximum rate of 100 Gbps.
In addition to the interface and port speed, other factors can also affect the bandwidth capabilities of a network adapter, such as the quality of the cabling used to connect the adapter to the network, the distance between the adapter and the network devices it is communicating with, and the level of network congestion and traffic.
The bandwidth capabilities of a network adapter are an important consideration for applications that require high-speed data transmission, such as video streaming, large file transfers, and real-time data processing. When selecting a network adapter, it is important to choose one that provides sufficient bandwidth capabilities to meet the requirements of the application or workload.
Dual port designDual port design refers to the inclusion of two physical network ports on a network adapter or network interface card (NIC) instead of just one. Each port can be connected to a separate network switch, hub, or other network device, providing redundancy and increased network throughput.
With a dual port adapter, if one port fails or experiences connectivity issues, the other port can take over, ensuring that network connectivity is maintained. This redundancy is especially important in mission-critical applications where network downtime can have severe consequences.
In addition to redundancy, dual port adapters can also provide increased network throughput by allowing for the aggregation of both ports into a single logical link. This is known as link aggregation or NIC teaming. By combining the bandwidth of both ports, the adapter can effectively double the available network bandwidth, increasing network performance and reducing potential bottlenecks.
Dual port adapters are commonly used in servers, storage devices, and other network infrastructure equipment that require high availability and network performance.

About Refurbished Products
Warranty
ALLHDD guarantees that the products will not have defects in material that will affect the product's functionality during the Standard Warranty Period. The warranty period starts when the merchandise/items from our warehouse.
What does ALLHDD.Com warranty cover?
30-days to 3 years warranty:
Replacement or refund. In the case of material defects, we will try to replace the product first. The product will be replaced before the expiration of the original warranty. For any failure of hardware, if we cannot process the replacement of the product(s)/model(s), we will refund the original selling/invoiced price. The shipping costs and sales tax, if any, are non-refundable. ALLHDD retains the right to decide whether the item(s) will process for replacement or refund.
What is not covered by our warranty?
The reason why our warranty does not cover any problem caused by the following conditions:
(a) misuse of hardware; accidental damage; carelessness product(s) damage; shock; temperature beyond the specification of any product; faulty installation; operation; modification of goods;
(b) any misuse outside the instructions in the user manual for any specific product;
(c) damaged caused by other hardware or equipment. The warranty will void if the item is returned with physical damage, damage to the retail box, removed from the box, counterfeit labels/labelled by them, or any modifications of internal and external covers. Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
Final Sale items are non-returnable/refundable in any situation. Any question? please ask our team before the shipment.
