PFSense build, 4 port NIC recommendations?

Builds pfSense
1

Hi there,

I am looking for a 4 port NIC for a pfsense build.

The build includes a lenovo SFF M700.
(Specs:https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkCentre/ThinkCentre_M700_SFF/ThinkCentre_M700_SFF_Spec.PDF?utm_source=pocket_mylist)

By any chance does anybody know if this NIC would be suitable?
and I am guessing I would need a low profile bracket as well, correct?

Something like this will work well: NEW GENUINE INTEL i340-T4 PCI-E x4 QUAD PORT 1Gb/s NIC ADAPTER w/BOTH BRACKETS 615284528579 | eBay

You don’t need 4 ports for pfSense, and you shouldn’t pay more than $25 for an i340. eBay links here → Demystifying Intel PRO/1000 Quad Port NICs
