Considering how Apple prices its products, $100 for 10 Gigabit Ethernet seems very cheap. Actually it is cheaper than most PCI-e cards.

- vetinari 7y agoNot really - you can have single port Intel X520-based pcie-e card for $40. Or bundled with 3m DAC cable for $60. For $100, you are in dual port cards territory.
- chx 7y agoYes, I saw that too, it's using an AQC107 (because it's supporting 2.5 and 5) and the card is 100 bucks https://camelcamelcamel.com/Gigabit-Ethernet-Express-Network-XG-C100F/product/B07VLC7LT3 https://camelcamelcamel.com/Gigabit-Ethernet-Express-Network... pretty steadily and so Apple only asking for the same price is indeed surprising.
