Since all offloading/checking needs to be turned off on the physical NIC, it can be a performance bottleneck (to the point of failures), even on smaller SMB transfers.
For multi-user file servers yes, but not most home/test networks this is not an issue.

i thought that one NIC could be a bottleneck for the server if there are lare file transfers going on.
Well sure if there is going to be a lot of traffic over the physical NIC it could become a bottleneck. The question you need to ask is "how much traffic am I going to push?"
When you're talking about Exchange and Active Directory 100Mb goes a very long way.
Re:yeah, this is only for home use.
Re:how much traffic are you going to push ?? if its is for a home lab, one nic is more than plenty.

Re:You can have an many Virtual nics as you want.
Re:You dont need a second NIC for it.
